Lamine Yamal produces sensational Lionel Messi-like action against Alaves

Barcelona secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Alaves, closing the gap in La Liga.

Lamine Yamal was the standout performer, showcasing his dribbling skills and playing a crucial role in Robert Lewandowski’s winning goal.

Despite a lackluster first half and losing Gavi to injury, Hansi Flick’s side improved in the second half.

Yamal’s shot, deflected from Pedri’s cross, set up Lewandowski to score. Barcelona remain in the title race, now four points behind Real Madrid and three behind Atletico Madrid.

They next face Valencia in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals before a crucial La Liga clash against Sevilla. Alaves, meanwhile, stay in the relegation zone.
