Real Madrid: José Mourinho reacts to Lamine Yamal's exit from the Ballon d'Or

With five victories in as many matches and 15 points in the standings, FC Barcelona is the undisputed leader of La Liga. Best attack in the championship (21 goals scored), the Catalan club has had a great start to the season. Just like its star, Lamine Yamal (19 years old). Co-top scorer in La Liga with Kylian Mbappé, Sergio Camello and Raphinha (6 goals), the Blaugrana number 10 is unstoppable.

Barça did not hesitate to announce that the Spanish world champion has even equaled Lionel Messi’s record. Since the start of the 21st century in La Liga, apart from Lionel Messi, “no other player, regardless of his team, had managed to score three doubles in the first five days of La Liga”indicates Barça.
