VIDEO: Lamine Yamal channels Arjen Robben AGAIN as Barcelona wonderkid makes legendary Dutchman's trademark finish his own with another outrageous goal against Villarreal

Villarreal

<p>As is so often the case this season, Barcelona conceded an early goal against Villarreal as the Yellow Submarine scored on the counter in the opening four minutes of the clash. In trademark fashion, Hansi Flick's side came back from behind in the first half to take a 2-1 lead heading into half-time. It was their 17-year-old sensation Yamal who triggered the comeback with a wonderful curling shot into Luiz Junior's goal, as he emulated Arjen Robben's trademark strike from just outside the 18-yard box for the second time in four days, having <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/barcelona-lamine-yamal-stunning-goal-espanyol-la-liga-title-hansi-flick-debut-season-domestic-double/bltf69781f591dda7da" target="_blank">scored a similar goal against Espanyol on Thursday</a>. </p>

The academy product has been a pivotal part of Barcelona's domestic treble as he has brought up 42 goal contributions in 53 appearances this season, with 17 goals and 25 assists in all competitions.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>As per <a href="https://x.com/SofascoreINT/status/1924159315298136233?s=15" target="_blank">Sofascore</a>, Yamal also brought up yet another record as his first dribble of the game against Villarreal was his 150th completed this season. The last time a player brought up the feat was Allan Saint-Maximin, who also hit the mark in the Premier League in 2021-22 when playing for Newcastle United.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>With just one more game until the end of the season for Barcelona, Yamal will have time to relax over the summer as the Catalan side have not qualified for the Club World Cup. The teenager has played 8,634 minutes since the start of the 2023-24 season with club and country, equivalent to more than 95 full matches.</p>
