Yamal's impressive form is not a surprise, given his end-of-season performance last year. He was a regular goal-scorer and playmaker in big games, and it seems that he has taken his game to a new level this season. His ability to carry Barcelona's attack on his back is a huge asset to the team.

The new season began with a routine 3-0 win away to Mallorca in LaLiga, and Yamal played a key part in securing three points for Barcelona. He provided a crucial assist for the first goal, which was headed in by Raphinha, and then scored a stunning goal in the 94th minute, curling an effort into the top corner.

In the second LaLiga encounter of the season, Yamal was quieter than usual, but he still managed to provide an assist for Pedri's goal. He was back to his best in Barcelona's final match of August against Rayo Vallecano, dazzling with his skill and quick feet on the edge of the area before being brought down inside the box and scoring a penalty with immense maturity.

Barcelona drew that match 1-1, but Yamal remains red-hot. His performance has been a highlight of the early season, and it's clear that he's a player to watch.

We spoke to Flashscore's senior editor for Spain, Cesar Suarez, about Yamal's brilliant start to the season. "Lamine Yamal is one of the best attacking players in Europe," he said. "He has a unique ability to disrupt the opposition and create chances for his teammates. He's a special player, and I think he's going to have a huge impact on the season."

Yamal's statistics back up his impressive performance. He's scored two goals, shared the lead in assists, and is the best dribbler in the competition. It's clear that he's a player who can make a difference in big games, and Barcelona fans will be hoping that he can continue to perform at this level throughout the season.
