Are Barcelona a one-man team? Shocking stat reveals dependence on 17-year-old Lamine Yamal as Hansi Flick's side drop more points in La Liga title race

Champions League

Barcelona

Brest

<p>Barcelona slipped to a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-player-ratings-vs-celta-a-phenomenal-collapse-hansi-flick-s-side-throw-away-two-goal-lead-late-on-after-marc-casado-sending-off-to-cancel-out-red-hot-raphinha-s-great-work/blt65f90b8c39a0c62a" target="_blank">disappointing 2-2 draw on Saturday</a>, despite leading Celta Vigo 2-0 with less than 10 minutes to go. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jules-kounde-reveals-who-is-to-blame-barcelona-capitulation-celta-vigo-draw/blt8a96d229131ea362" target="_self">A Jules Kounde error</a> and a Marc Casado red card put them on the back foot, and Celta grabbed a deserved equaliser in the 86th minute. Without Yamal starting on the right wing, Barcelona looked bereft of ideas, which has resulted in questions over whether the Catalan club have become too reliant on the teenager.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Yamal was confirmed to have suffered an ankle injury following Barcelona's 5-2 win over Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League in early November, and he hasn't played a minute for the club since. Barcelona have won 15 of the 16 games Yamal has played in this season, with the one exception a shock 4-2 defeat to Osasuna in which he came off the bench. On the three occasions he has not been named in the starting lineup this term, Barcelona have been defeated, losing to Monaco in the Champions League as well as to Real Sociedad and now Celta domestically.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Yamal is continuing to break more records and is notably Barcelona's youngest ever goal scorer, bagging his first senior goal in a 2-2 draw with Granada in October 2023.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Yamal is set to return from his injury in the next two weeks or so. Barcelona's next game sees them host Brest in the Champions League.</p>
