Lamine Yamal rose to the occasion with a stunning display in Barcelona\u2019s 4-1 victory over FC Copenhagen in the final group stage game of the Champions League last night.<\/p>\n
The Blaugrana got off to a terrible start after Copenhagen pounced on Jules Kounde\u2019s miscued pass and took an early lead through Viktor Daoason.<\/p>\n

Barca restored parity early in the second half when Dani Olmo threaded in a defence-splitting pass in the path of Yamal, who squared it for Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker was clinical with his strike.<\/p>\n
Yamal put the hosts with a deflected shot before having a hand in the third goal. He found Lewandowski inside the box with a weighted chip, but the striker was brought down.<\/p>\n
Raphinha blasted home from the spot to put the Catalan giants in a comfortable position. Marcus Rashford put the game to bed with a stellar free kick.<\/p>\n

Coming off a stellar performance against Real Oviedo, where he scored a magnificent bicycle kick, Yamal has now produced back-to-back influential performances.<\/p>\n
The Spanish prodigy created three big chances and completed six dribbles. His work rate was impressive again, making seven recoveries and winning eight ground duels.<\/p>\n
Yamal has now bagged 12 goals and 13 assists in all competitions this season.<\/p>\n
Olmo was solid in midfield, adeptly filling in for the absent Pedri and Frenkie de Jong.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old\u2019s extraordinary vision and passing range unlocked Copenhagen\u2019s defence, creating three big chances and delivering eight passes into the final third.<\/p>\n
Centre-backs Pau Cubarsi and Gerard Martin also shone in the victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lamine Yamal rose to the occasion with a stunning display in Barcelona\u2019s 4-1 victory over FC Copenhagen in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3159,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[6],"tags":[1210,3368,3361,108,3364,3362,3367,3360,3366,3369,3370,3365,3363],"class_list":["post-3158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-copenhagen","tag-barcelona","tag-blaugrana","tag-champions-league","tag-copenhagen","tag-dani-olmo","tag-fc-copenhagen","tag-frenkie-de-jong","tag-lamine-yamal","tag-marcus-rashford","tag-pedri","tag-raphinha","tag-real-oviedo","tag-robert-lewandowski"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3158\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
