Barcelona were searching for a breakthrough when the moment arrived. Just seconds after stepping onto the pitch, 16-year-old Lamine Yamal received the ball out wide. With his first involvement, he drove forward confidently, glancing up before threading a perfectly timed pass into the box.
Waiting there was Robert Lewandowski, the ever-reliable finisher. The striker anticipated the movement, peeled away from his marker, and with one smooth motion, guided the ball past the goalkeeper. The net rippled — 2-1 to Barcelona.
It was classic Lewandowski: intelligent positioning, ruthless precision. But the story carried an extra spark — the assist came from Yamal, in his very first minute on the field, making his presence felt instantly. The stadium erupted, not just for the goal, but for the glimpse of a generational connection between youth and experience.
