Lamine Yamal delivered a stellar performance for Barcelona, scoring a brace and providing an assist in their dominant 6-1 victory over Alaves. This display saw him reach 12 goals and 10 assists across all competitions, making him the first player in Spanish football since Lionel Messi in 2011 to achieve at least 10 goals and 10 assists by November. Yamal's impact extends beyond individual scoring, as he also set up Fermin Lopez for a goal.

Furthermore, Yamal and teammate Raphinha have formed a formidable partnership, combining for 25 goals in the first 11 matchdays of the 2026-27 LaLiga season. This makes them the most lethal duo in Spanish football in 86 years, surpassing the record set by Atletico Madrid's Pruden and Campos in 1940-41, and nearing the 1930-31 record of Athletic Club's Bata and Iraragorri.
