Lamine Yamal Rebuts Injury Rumors After Driving Barcelona’s 3-3 Draw at Brugge

The 18-year-old’s resurgence includes a record-tying Champions League tally, with his coach urging careful management of a lingering groin problem.

Overview

  • Lamine Yamal said reports about his pubalgia and claims he was unhappy were “all lies,” stressing he feels good and focused on his work.
  • He scored a solo equalizer and delivered the cross that was turned in for a late own goal as Barcelona drew 3-3 away to Club Brugge.
  • Opta reports he has 13 Champions League goal involvements (seven goals, six assists), tying Kylian Mbappé for the most by a player aged 18 or under.
  • Barcelona manager Hansi Flick praised Yamal’s form but warned the groin issue requires strict training and treatment control after the teen missed seven games earlier this season.
  • CIES ranks Yamal as the world’s most valuable under‑20 player at about €350 million, as pundits such as Thierry Henry highlight Barcelona’s defensive frailties that are undermining results.
