Yamal was shockingly eliminated just before the match time, Barcelona lost bitterly to Real Sociedad

Lamine Yamal was eliminated just before the match time.

In midweek, when Barcelona beat Red Star Belgrade 5-2 (7.11) in the Champions League, Lamine Yamal played the full 90 minutes. However, the young Spanish star left a disappointing impression, without any goals or assists. Not only that, a few hours after the match ended, Barcelona's medical department confirmed that Lamine Yamal had suffered a minor injury.

However, when Barcelona traveled to Anoeta Stadium, preparing for the match against Real Sociedad, Lamine Yamal was still present on the team bus. The 17-year-old player was excited to practice but was surprisingly removed from the match squad by coach Hansi Flick. In fact, Lamine Yamal was not even on the reserve list.

According to Marca , coach Hansi Flick was urgently informed about Lamine Yamal's injury. Accordingly, the young striker of Barcelona suffered a recurrence of an ankle injury and if he continued to play, the problem would become more serious. Therefore, coach Hansi Flick did not want to take risks and had to replace him with Fermín López in the starting lineup close to the match time.

The German coach shared: “Barcelona tried to wait until the last minute to see the condition of Lamine Yamal. In the training session before the match, he continued to feel uncomfortable. The medical department had to work quickly, to avoid Lamine Yamal's ankle injury becoming more serious. I don't know how long he will be out and we are focused on today's match against Real Sociedad.”

Coach Hansi Flick added that Lamine Yamal's condition has been reported to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). Currently, the RFEF medical department has met directly with Lamine Yamal and will report to coach Luis de la Fuente to decide whether to continue to call him up for the FIFA Days series in November 2024 or not.

Yamal's ability to play for the Spanish team is still uncertain.

Unexpected defeat, 0 shots on target!

On the day Lamine Yamal was absent, Barcelona’s attack surprisingly played very poorly. Although Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha were still on the field, the Catalan team did not have a single shot on target in 90 minutes (Barcelona shot a total of 11 times). The most notable situation that Barcelona’s attack brought in this match was Lewandowski’s goal being denied in the 14th minute.

Meanwhile, the player who replaced Lamine Yamal, Fermín López, left a big disappointment, not leaving any mark in the 70 minutes he was on the field.

Barcelona's poor performance in attack caused the home team to lose 0-1 to Real Sociedad.

The attack did not play well, Barcelona's defense was constantly under pressure from Real Sociedad. The home team shot 14 times, causing Inaki Pena's goal to constantly shake. After many opportunities, Sheraldo Becker scored accurately in the 33rd minute, helping Real Sociedad open the score. This was also the only goal of the match, helping the home team Real Sociedad win all 3 points against Barcelona.

A surprising 0-1 defeat to Real Sociedad ended Barcelona's winning streak in all competitions at 7. This is also Barcelona's second defeat in La Liga since the start of the 2024-2025 season. However, coach Hansi Flick's team is still leading the league with 33 points, 6 points ahead of the second-placed Real Madrid (Barcelona played 1 more match).
