PlayStation instincts: Yamal reveals the secret behind his assists

Yesterday, Barcelona cruised to a 5-1 victory over Mallorca on the road, with 17-year-old prodigy Lamine Yamal once again delivering a stylish assist with the outside of his foot to Raphinha. Now, he's revealed the secret behind his flair.

Details: This was Yamal's third such assist of the season. When asked about it after the match, the young star explained that he thinks about it like a button press on a video game controller, similar to EA FC.

“The pass with the outside of my foot? Just press L2, I guess!”. Yamal quipped.

This season, the 2024 Golden Boy award winner has already tallied 6 goals and 10 assists in 18 matches.

Reminder: It was reported yesterday that Barcelona no longer plans to pursue Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams.
