Lamine Yamal's Complete 2025/2026 Stats

In 34 La Liga appearances, Yamal registered 14 goals and 10 assists, averaging 78 minutes per game. He completed 86% of his passes and was fouled 2.1 times per match, drawing comparisons to a young Neymar for his ability to disrupt defensive structures. His 3.8 touches in the opposition box per 90 ranked third in the league, behind only Robert Lewandowski and Vinícius Júnior.

On the European stage, Yamal was equally devastating: 4 goals and 3 assists in 12 Champions League games, including a man-of-the-match performance in the quarter-final second leg against Bayern. His lone Copa del Rey goal came in the semi-final against Athletic Bilbao. For Spain, he added 1 goal and 1 assist in 8 caps, becoming the youngest player to reach 20 combined goal contributions for club and country before turning 19.

Compared to Last Season: Better or Worse?

The leap from 2024/2025 to 2025/2026 is undeniable. Last season, Yamal finished with 11 goals and 8 assists in 38 games. This year, his goal+assist ratio per 90 has jumped from 0.58 to 0.78, placing him among Europe’s most efficient attackers. His shooting accuracy has improved to 38% on target, while his conversion rate sits at 18.3% — a sign of growing composure in the final third.

Defensively, he’s also more engaged, winning 1.8 defensive duels per 90 (up from 1.1). Analysts suggest Yamal has evolved from a pure winger into a

“hybrid forward” who drops deep, links play, and attacks space with elite timing.

Advanced Metrics: What the Data Really Says

Expected Goals (xG) data reveals Yamal slightly overperformed: 17.2 xG vs. 19 actual goals, indicating clinical finishing. His Expected Assists (xA) stood at 12.4, meaning he created more high-quality chances than statistically expected. With 3.1 shot-creating actions per 90, he ranks in the 94th percentile among wide forwards in Europe’s top five leagues.

Yamal also led La Liga in progressive carries (5.2 per 90) and was second in successful dribbles (4.7 per 90, 68% success rate). His 9 match MVP awards in 2025/2026 are the most by any U19 player this century. Scouting models now compare him to a blend of Messi’s vision and Mbappé’s acceleration.

Where Lamine Yamal Ranks Among the Best in Europe

In total goal contributions, Yamal ranks 6th among U20 players in Europe in 2025/2026, behind Bellingham, Musiala, Wirtz, Doku, and Güler.

He was named in UEFA’s Champions League Squad of the Season and shortlisted for the Kopa Trophy.

Barcelona finished second in La Liga, just two points behind Real Madrid, but reached the Champions League final — where Yamal scored in a 2-1 loss to Manchester City. His performance against Bayern, where he completed 89 touches and drew the decisive penalty, was hailed as “generational” by pundits.
