Lamine Yamal shines with dribble and assist in Barcelona's 4:1 win over Galatasaray
A 53rd-minute trick from Lamine Yamal led to Anthony Gordon's goal as Barcelona defeated Galatasaray 4:1 in Istanbul.
Current Spanish champions Barcelona continued their strong run with a 4:1 win over Galatasaray in Istanbul on 14 October 2026. Despite conceding the opening goal, Hansi Flick’s side imposed themselves and produced a dominant performance that will be remembered not only for the scoreline but for a single dazzling moment of individual skill.
Yamal's sequence that changed a moment into a highlight
It was the 53rd minute when Lamine Yamal received the ball on the right edge of the penalty area and embarked on a brief solo display. He carried the ball toward the touchline, feinted a backheel strike at the last instant and then altered his intention.
The ball ricocheted off a defender and returned to his feet, but Yamal refused to end the move. He quickly produced another touch with the outside of his foot and delivered a precise pass to Anthony Gordon, who finished to make it 3:1.
In the space of a few seconds the young Spaniard showcased exceptional technique, fast decision-making and the ability to turn what looked like a lost situation into a goal-scoring opportunity. His contribution in Istanbul — which included two assists — underlined why his performances are drawing attention across Europe.
Barcelona’s victory in Turkey extended their impressive domestic and continental form, but it is Yamal’s trick and subsequent assist that are likely to be replayed widely on social media in the hours and days after the match.
