The Spanish wunderkind failed to hit the target.

Details: In today's matchday 24 La Liga fixture, Barcelona traveled to face Girona, and just before halftime, the Blaugrana had a golden opportunity to break the deadlock. But Barcelona’s brightest star, Lamine Yamal, let the moment slip away.

In the 45+1st minute, referee Soto Grado awarded a penalty to Barcelona. As expected, one of Barcelona’s most reliable penalty takers—18-year-old Lamine Yamal, who had maintained a flawless penalty record this season—stepped up to the spot.

With a short run-up, Yamal aimed for the right corner, sending the keeper the wrong way, but the ball cruelly struck the post, leaving both teams to head into the break with the score still locked at zero.

This season, Yamal has appeared in 31 matches for Barcelona, scoring 15 goals and providing 13 assists.

Reminder: Back in action! Raphinha fully recovered and ready to face Girona
