Yamal joined on Barcelona scoresheet by another 19-year-old academy product
Lamine Yamal scored twice in Barcelona's 4-2 victory over Levante, joining another 19-year-old academy product in the goal column. Barcelona's opening goal came from Xavi Espart, who joined the club's La Masia academy as a young player and made his senior debut last season. Raphinha provided the assist for Yamal's first goal with a cross from inside the box.
The young striker then added a penalty shortly after halftime, bringing his league tally to six goals and his third consecutive brace in La Liga. Levante's lone reply came from Ivan Romero, who capitalized on a misplaced back pass from Espart, who was playing as a left-back in this match. Roger Brugué added a second goal for Levante before Karim Adeyemi scored a late consolation for Barcelona, extending their winning streak to six matches across all competitions.
Elsewhere in Europe, Bayern Munich faced Elversberg, the smallest club in the Bundesliga, while Paris Saint-Germain seeks its first league win of the season against Brest.
