He notably scored the crucial goal that clinched Barcelona’s 28th La Liga title in a 2-0 win over rivals Espanyol nearly two weeks ago. Additionally, the team made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League this season. Yamal had an impressive year, netting 18 goals and leading La Liga with 13 assists, following his contribution to Spain’s victorious European Championship campaign last summer.
