I think it's fairly obvious by now Yamal wasn't fully recovered from his groin injury when he came back earlier this season. You can focus on the rival full backs all you like, but he's played nearly the same game every single match he's started since. Hopefully Barcelona don't mess this up any further. Repeatedly rushing players' recovery has always struck me as a much surer way of developing chronic injury issues than merely "overplaying" them, regardless of age bracket.
But Carreras and Nuno Mendes already pocketed Yamal pre injury. Carreras while at Benfica and Nuno in the NL final

Yamal is the best player for that age group since Pele, which is saying something obviously. Interested to see how he progresses, hopefully he stays away from his bad habits (partying and shacking up with unbecoming social media chicks) - he's not Brazilian so I'm hopeful. No offense @Frank73 and @Isaías Silva Serafim
Frank is Italian. But I know what you mean. It's not an offence, it's reality. Our most talented players historically weren't much professional and liked more drinks, party and girls. Tbh olise for me is the best RW itw since last season but yeah, at this age Yamal is one of the best ever and he's improving a lot. One of my critiques to him last season were his poor finishing but this season he has improved this aspect a lot
Wiliam Felipe Gracek, Olise seems more like the new Robben than Gullit CTRL+C > CTRL+VOlise & Robben 🔥 pic.twitter.com/OdncT8Gssj— Almanya'dan Futbol (@almanydnfutbol) November 25, 2025 Today the fourth goal against Real Madrid was like that too.
Mbappé just broke Messi's personal record for goals in a single Champions League season even topping what Messi did during his legendary 91 goal calendar year. He also tied the career best marks of Lewandowski and Benzema with 15 goals. Ronaldo’s all-time record, however, remains untouched. Ronaldo 13/14 - 17 goals Ronaldo 15/16 - 16 Ronaldo 17/18 - 15 Lewandowski 19/20 - 15 Benzema 21/22 - 15 Mbappé 25/26 - 15 Messi 11/12 - 14

You have to understand that in statistics, especially in football, often "more" doesn't mean "better".
Well, that only means Vini is helping his team to advance the ball into dangerous areas more often than anyone else. He's on a league of his own on that game phase since the distance from the second to the others are very closer than his to the second
It doesn't necessarly mean that. That is the point. What can be said for certain from this stat is that Vinicius is moving forward a lot with the ball in his feet. That is all.

on finishing skills Style , yes ! But on dribbling skills, agility, acceleration, 1 vs 1 on the ground , first touch skills and flair Of creativity sounds like more Gullit than Robben !
