Barcelona dominated Espanyol from the start, despite the hosts' promising beginning. However, despite monopolising possession, they struggled to break Espanyol down before halftime.

Just seven minutes after the restart, Lamine Yamal unleashed a stunning curling strike into the top corner, showcasing his skill and precision. The 17-year-old's influence grew as the half progressed, and Barcelona's dominance was reflected in the shot count.

Espanyol's hopes of a comeback dwindled when Leandro Cabrera was sent off for punching Lamine in the gut. In the dying minutes, Yamal slotted the ball through to Fermin Lopez, who finished clinically, securing the win and clinching the league title. Lamine Yamal's goal was a highlight of the match, sparking more Ballon d'Or shouts.

What Oshoala said 

While Barcelona fans cheered their 28th league title on social media, fans of other clubs joined in the occasion; their focus, however, was fawning over the mesmerising 17-year-old. 

Bay FC striker, Oshoala was one of those enchanted by the youngster's goal that beat usually impregnable Joan Garcia, leading her to tag him ‘Banga Boy.’ “YAMAL omo werey …. banga boy,” her tweet read in full. 

The Barcelona teenage sensation is one of the top contenders for the Ballon d'Or, with fans and colleagues like Cole Palmer dubbing him the best player in the world.
