FC Barcelona were leading 1-0 over Celta Vigo in the first half today for their 32nd league match of the season.
Lamine Yamal scored in the 40th minute through a penalty kick after getting brought down in the box. Yamal converted the penalty by slotting the ball into the bottom corner.
After the goal, Yamal did not celebrate and immediately went down holding his hamstring. The 18-year-old star seemed concerned, and Ferran Torres was seen telling the coaching staff that a change was needed.
