He scored a stunning goal in the 55th minute after a terrible mistake with a pass from the back by Frenkie de Jong, then turned Pau Cubars inside out before firing a ferocious right-footed shot that Jo\u00e3o Garca was unable to stop.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, it is no exaggeration to say that Estevao is not losing at all to Lamine Yamal at this point. This match will once again be a harsh lesson for Bara. Every time he posts something on social media, the next match turns into a complete nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing left for Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwho continue to look different from week to week, is to bounce back and focus on Alavs in La Liga, but a matchup with Atltico Madrid that could decide the title race is already on the horizon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/champions-league\/2025\/11\/25\/69262e6aca474101488b45a6.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IThis was already a tough away game for FC Barcelona, \u200b\u200bbut it turned out to be a real nightmare for Lamine Yamal, who were unable to overcome the wall set by Marc Cucurella.
