Lamine Yamal stats: club and country
Yamal broke into the Barcelona side at 15 and has not looked back. His record for club and country reads:
| Team | Apps | Goals | Assists | Chances created |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Barcelona | 138 | 41 | 38 | 224 |
| Spain | 27 | 7 | 7 | 26 |
What the numbers say
The output is remarkable for any age. Across 138 Barcelona appearances Yamal scored 41 goals from an expected-goals figure of 36.9 and laid on 38 assists, and 37 of those goals came off his left foot — the signature of a right winger who cuts inside. He gets into the right areas too, with 911 touches in the opposition box and 767 passes into the penalty area.
A creator as much as a finisher
His passing is what sets him apart. Those 38 assists came from an expected-assists figure of just 26.4, a big overperformance, and he has created 224 chances and 88 big chances in total. For Spain he already has seven assists in only 10 caps.
How Lamine Yamal fared in Spain’s opener
Spain were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Cape Verde to open the World Cup 2026, and Yamal was sprung from the bench. In just 19 minutes he created a big chance, got two shots away and fired 10 passes into the penalty area as Spain chased a winner that never came — even in a cameo, their likeliest spark.
