"Lamine Yamal made an instant impact on his return from injury as he provided the assist for Robert Lewandowski's winning goal in Barcelona's 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad. Yamal was featuring in his first match since aggravating a groin issue in the September international break, and his comeback was a fruitful one for Hansi Flick's side. The Blaugrana capitalised on Real Madrid's 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid 24 hours earlier, with this victory seeing them leapfrog their Clasico rivals to the LaLiga summit."
"But Barca were forced to come from a goal down as Alvaro Odriozola tucked Ander Barrenetxea's cross home, after Jules Kounde was cheaply dispossessed in the 31st minute. Kounde did atone for his error two minutes before the break, though, rising highest to meet Marcus Rashford's inviting corner with a thumping header past Alex Remiro. Flick turned to his bench at half-time, introducing Dani Olmo and Yamal into the action, with the latter marking his return in style with a trademark assist for Lewandowski."
"Yamal then thought he had pulled his team further clear when he finished brilliantly past Remiro, but that goal was ruled out for an offside against the Spain international. The crossbar was left shaking at either end late on, with Takefusa Kubo inches away from snatching a point before Lewandowski followed suit 30 seconds later with a first-time strike.

Lamine Yamal returned from a groin injury and provided the assist for Robert Lewandowski's winning goal as Barcelona beat Real Sociedad 2-1. Jules Kounde was dispossessed, allowing Alvaro Odriozola to open the scoring, but Kounde equalised before half-time with a powerful header from a Marcus Rashford corner. Hansi Flick introduced Dani Olmo and Yamal at half-time, and Yamal embarked on a mazy run before clipping the cross for Lewandowski. Yamal had a later goal ruled out for offside. Late chances rattled the crossbars before Lewandowski secured the victory, propelling Barcelona above Real Madrid in LaLiga. Yamal has recorded 24 assists for the club since last season.
