Lamine Yamal - Scores off bench in loss Yamal scored a goal off three shots (one on target) and created two chances after coming off the bench during Saturday's 4-2 loss against Osasuna.

Impact Yamal came off the bench for the first time this season, being brought as part of a double substitution just before the hour mark. And the wonderkid provided a huge spark to his team's offense, being involved in multiple dangerous plays as usual and then finding the back of the net with a brilliant long-range strike that reduced the deficit in the 89th minute. That's now five goals and five assists over nine appearances in all competitions for Yamal, who should be back in the lineup for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Young Boys.

This was the first senior assist for the left-back, who's been one of Barca's pleasant surprises from the start of the season.

The midfielder, who was already coming off delivering his first senior assist in the previous game, is having a quite solid start of campaign and that will probably help him getting many other starts in such a long season.
