Watch the video of the goal in the first comment!
In a heart-stopping match at the Abanca-Balaídos Stadium, FC Barcelona rescued an epic 4-2 victory against Celta de Vigo on matchday 12 of LaLiga 2025-26, but the moment that will remain etched in everyone’s memory was Lamine Yamal’s goal in first-half stoppage time. With the score tied at 2-2 and the atmosphere boiling, the 18-year-old young prodigy of Barça unleashed the magic that silenced more than 20,000 spectators and unleashed culé euphoria. This goal not only changed the course of the match, but also established Yamal as the future of Spanish football, a talent that seems destined to break all records.
The duel, played on November 9, 2025 in Vigo, began with a dominant but vulnerable Barcelona. From the opening whistle, Hansi Flick lined up an offensive eleven with Robert Lewandowski back from injury, flanked by Marcus Rashford – Manchester United’s recent signing – and the incombustible Lamine Yamal on the right wing. Celta, led by Claudio Giráldez, opted for their usual high pressure and came out with everything: in the 10th minute, a penalty committed by Marcos Alonso allowed Lewandowski to open the scoring with a cold and precise shot (1-0). However, the joy lasted only 60 seconds: Sergio Carreira, with a lethal counterattack, tied the score at 1-1 and ignited the home crowd.
The first half became a shootout of goals. Lewandowski, recovering his scoring instinct, extended the lead in the 37th minute with a spectacular volley assisted by Frenkie de Jong (2-1), demonstrating why he is still the Polish killer at 37 years old. But Celta did not give up: in the 43rd minute, Borja Iglesias unleashed a missile from outside the area that slipped into the top corner, grazing the crossbar and causing Balaídos to explode (2-2). A tie seemed inevitable on the brink of half-time, with the referee adding six minutes of added time for interruptions. It was then that Yamal’s genius emerged.
In the 45+4 minute, Rashford launched a low cross from the left that was deflected by a light blue defender. The ball, capricious, bounced in the small area and fell directly at the feet of Yamal, who did not forgive: with a first-class left-footed finish, he sent it to the back of Ionuț Radu’s net, beating three defenders and the Romanian goalkeeper in a play of pure instinct. The stadium, which moments before roared with chants of “Celta, Celta!”, fell into a deathly silence. The visiting fans, a handful of Blaugranas in the stands, burst into joy, while the locals looked at each other in disbelief. That goal, born out of chaos, made it 3-2 and gave Barça oxygen for the second half.
The reaction of the Celta fans was a poem of shock and contained admiration. Television cameras captured petrified faces: a father with his son in his arms, open-mouthed; groups of friends covering their faces in disbelief; Even the legendary Iago Aspas, from the bench, applauded the rival’s talent with resignation. On social media, the hashtag #YamalMagia exploded in a matter of seconds, with videos of the goal accumulating millions of views. “This kid is from another planet,” tweeted a light blue fan, summing up the general feeling. Balaídos’ silence did not last long – Lewandowski would complete his hat-trick in the 73rd minute for the final 4-2 – but that moment of absolute stillness was the emotional climax of the night.
Lamine Yamal, born in 2007 in Rocafonda (Matarranya), has become the emblem of the Blaugrana youth team. He debuted with the first team at the age of 15 years and 291 days, the youngest in Barça’s history, and he already has 4 goals and 3 assists this season. His goal against Celta was not just a stroke of luck: it speaks of his reading of the game, his devilish speed (he reached 34 km/h in the play) and his coolness under pressure. “I didn’t want the time to end like that. I saw the ball coming and I thought: ‘It’s mine,'” Yamal declared post-match on DAZN, with that humility that makes it even more special. Flick, his coach, did not spare his praise: “Lamine is unique. That goal saved the game for us and gave us the momentum to win. It is the future, but it is already the present.”
This victory catapults Barcelona to 25 points, just three behind Real Madrid, which previously tied against Rayo Vallecano. Celta, for its part, remains on 13 points and breaks a streak of 8 games without losing, mired in the middle zone. The victory also marks the rebirth of Lewandowski, whose hat trick (penalty, volley and header) leaves him top scorer with 7 goals. Rashford, with two assists, justifies his loan: “I’m here to win titles, and today we took a step,” said the Englishman.
But the focus, without a doubt, is on Yamal. His goal has generated comparisons with legends like Messi or Maradona, not because of exaggeration, but because of that ability to decide in critical moments. In an increasingly tactical football, Yamal represents freedom, dribbling and audacity. Culés fans dream of him leading the next golden era, while rivals like Celta already know what it’s like to feel his poison. If you are looking for the video of the goal, look for it on the networks: that shot in injury time that transformed silence into history.
Barça now returns to the Camp Nou with high morale, preparing for the international break and the duel against Girona on November 23. Can Yamal maintain this level in the Champions League? Or will Celta find revenge in the return leg? One thing is certain: Lamine Yamal leaves no one indifferent. In a sport of emotions, he is the spark that ignites passions. If you are a football fan, this goal is one of those that is repeated forever.
