FC Barcelona takes the lead in LaLiga after their victory over Real Sociedad

Estadi Olímpic de Montjuïc witnessed a thrilling match this afternoon between FC Barcelona and Real Sociedad. Hansi Flick's team arrived at the match with several key absences, but with their hopes intact after Real Madrid's defeat yesterday. The opportunity to close the gap in the standings was unbeatable, and there was an atmosphere of maximum demand.

Despite the importance of the three points, Flick surprised with a striking decision. The German coach chose to include Dro Fernández from La Masia, who is just 17 years old, in the starting line-up. The young midfielder played the entire first half and delivered a solid performance.

Dro Fernández delivers in his first start

Dro didn't make any major mistakes, but he also didn't produce decisive actions that could have changed the course of the match. His role was to keep the play flowing, without taking risks and providing balance in midfield. It was a steady performance that, nevertheless, made it clear that he still needs time to settle at the top level.

Real Sociedad took advantage of Barça's uncertainty at the start and managed to take the lead on the scoreboard. With the visitors ahead, Flick decided to make a move at halftime. Dani Olmo came onto the field after the break in place of Dro Fernández to try to turn the game around.

Lamine Yamal gives Barça the win

In the second half, Lamine Yamal was the main protagonist. The young winger was returning after overcoming his latest injury and needed just a few seconds to make a difference. In his first involvement, he delivered an exquisite cross that Lewandowski only had to tap into the net to seal the final 2-1.

That technical gesture was enough to decide the match and unleash euphoria at Montjuïc. Barça went from being in trouble to taking the lead with a simple flash of talent. A play that shows why Lamine Yamal is considered a footballer from another dimension.

Lamine Yamal shows that Dro Fernández is still green

Lamine Yamal's brilliant action put Dro Fernández's performance into perspective. The academy graduate is a good player, with potential and room for improvement, but still far from being decisive. His presence in the first team may be regular, but he still needs to grow to aspire to a leading role.

Meanwhile, Lamine Yamal is a different story. At just 18 years old, he has shown that he is the best in the world in one-on-one situations and a constant creator of advantages. His appearances change matches and immediately raise the team's level.

Barça celebrated a key victory, but everyone talked about the same thing after the match. Lamine Yamal's emergence was the main topic of conversation, overshadowing any other detail. At such a young age, he already makes a difference like the greats and confirms that Dro Fernández still needs to improve.
