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.
