'Not a foul!' - Lamine Yamal takes aim at match officials as Barcelona wonderkid shows off bloodied sock after Las Palmas win

LaLiga

Las Palmas

Real Sociedad

Champions League

Barcelona

Borussia Dortmund

<p>The teenage wonderkid lined up for the Blaugrana in their latest La Liga fixture. He did not find the target himself during that contest, but did provide the assist which allowed <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-player-ratings-las-palmas-dani-olmo-ferran-torres/bltd13d078da309ef83" target="_blank">Dani Olmo to open the scoring in a battling 2-0 win</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Las Palmas were fully aware of the threat that Yamal posed to their defensive unit. In a bid to contain him, they did get overly physical at times. Barcelona’s Golden Boy winner did not get the protection from match officials that he was hoping for.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>At one point, just before the hour mark, Yamal was caught by Dario Essugo and Alex Munoz. He was left writhing in agony on the turf, but no free-kick was awarded. The youngster has posted an image on social media of his bloodied sock, alongside a tongue-in-cheek “it’s not a foul” statement.</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt7466e93c544790b0/yamal%20sock.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt7466e93c544790b0/yamal%20sock.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt7466e93c544790b0/yamal%20sock.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Lamine Yamal bloodied sock Barcelona Las Palmas 2024-25" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt7466e93c544790b0;width:462;height:656"></picture>

WHAT LAMINE YAMAL SAID

<p>Yamal is having to grow accustomed to taking the odd knock, with rivals eager to stop him before he gets up to speed. Occasionally, that will mean bending the rules. Referees in Spain need to ensure that one of the hottest prospects in world football is not injured by the rough treatment that he receives.</p>
