The young sensation scored from the penalty spot in the 40th minute after winning the foul himself, but his night took a swift turn. Suffering a left thigh injury, he was forced off just minutes later, leaving uncertainty about the extent of his setback.

This win puts Barça nine points clear of Real Madrid. However, with both Yamal and João Cancelo forced to leave the pitch early, the Catalan side's evening was bittersweet despite the result.
