Who won the Man of the Match award for Barcelona vs Espanyol?

A member of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona beat out the competition to scoop the Man of the Match prize in the club’s latest outing.

The player in question? Lamine Yamal.

Barcelona were of course back in action a short time ago, welcoming Espanyol to the Spotify Camp Nou for a Catalan Derby clash.

The Blaugrana headed into proceedings eyeing a bounce-back result, following their concerning defeat at the hands of Atlético Madrid in the Champions League in midweek.

And when all was said and done, return to winning ways is precisely what Hansi Flick’s troops managed.

The aforementioned Lamine Yamal proved himself the star of the show in an eventual 4-1 romp, dazzling from his berth on the right flank once more.

After laying on Ferran Torres for a first-half brace, the 18-year-old then turned goalscorer himself late on, to make it three goal contributions on the day.

In turn, it came as little surprise when it was Lamine who was named the game’s official MVP post-match.
