**Lamine Yamal’s Goal Drought in La Liga Continues: 127 Days Without Scoring**
Lamine Yamal, the young Barcelona sensation, is enduring a surprising goal drought in La Liga, having gone 127 days without finding the back of the net in domestic competition. Despite his undeniable talent, the 17-year-old has struggled to score, even in a comfortable match for Barcelona against Real Sociedad. His last league goal dates back to October 26, when he netted against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu.
After scoring his fifth league goal in the 11th round of the season during El Clásico, expectations were high for Yamal to deliver a prolific campaign. However, the goals have dried up since then, leaving fans and pundits puzzled. Over four months have passed without a league goal, a surprising statistic for a player of his caliber.
This season, Yamal has scored 11 goals in 35 appearances across all competitions, logging nearly 3,000 minutes on the pitch. While he remains a key player for manager Hansi Flick and continues to shine on the field, his goal-scoring output has been inconsistent. His tally includes five goals in La Liga, two in the Champions League, two in the Copa del Rey, and two in the Spanish Super Cup.

Despite his league struggles, Yamal has managed to score in other tournaments during this 127-day drought. He found the net against Athletic Club in the Spanish Super Cup semifinal, Real Madrid in the final, Betis in the Copa del Rey, Atalanta in the Champions League, and Valencia in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals.
However, Yamal is now experiencing a broader dry spell, having gone a full month without scoring in any competition. His last goal came on February 6, and since then, he has played nearly every minute in Barcelona’s five matches. During this period, the team scored 15 goals, including eight in their last two games.
In the recent match against Real Sociedad, which Barcelona dominated 4-0 after an early red card for Elustondo, Yamal failed to score despite the team’s commanding performance. Nevertheless, he played a crucial role in the opening goal, showcasing his skill on the right flank with dazzling footwork that left two defenders trailing before setting up Olmo and Gerard Martín.
As Barcelona prepares for their upcoming Champions League fixtures, Yamal’s focus will be on breaking his league goal drought. While his tally of 11 goals this season is modest for a player of his talent, it’s important to remember his age and the immense pressure he faces. Comparisons to global stars may be premature, but there’s no doubt that Yamal’s potential remains sky-high.
For now, fans will hope that the young star can rediscover his scoring touch and continue to develop into one of football’s brightest talents.
