FC Barcelona kicked off their season at the Joan Gamper Trophy with a convincing performance against Como. The night had its brightest moment when the new number 10, Lamine Yamal, now 18 years old, lit up the stands once again with a decisive piece of play.

How Did Lamine Yamal’s Goal Happen?

It came in the 42nd minute: Raphinha drove inside and slipped a through ball; Yamal controlled it on the right side of the box and finished with his left foot, low and into the far corner. A cold, clinical gesture that underlined his status as the new attacking reference.

How Was the Result Built?

Barça struck in quick succession:

• Fermín López opened the scoring in the 21st minute (0-1).
• Fermín struck again in the 35th after an assist from Frenkie de Jong (0-2).
• Raphinha made it 0-3 in the 37th, assisted by Marcus Rashford.
• Lamine Yamal sealed the 0-4 in the 42nd after a pass from Raphinha.

What Are the Takeaways From the Gamper?

A vertical and aggressive side under Hansi Flick, with Lamine Yamal stepping up as the new number 10 and Fermín incisive between the lines. The Raphinha-Yamal and De Jong-Fermín link-ups look set to be key attacking weapons as the official season begins.
