Lamine Yamal missed out on Man of the Match award in Barcelona’s 5-0 win over Valencia
Barcelona defeated Valencia 5-0 in a La Liga match, with Lamine Yamal scoring twice. Despite his performance, teammate Fermín López was awarded Man of the Match for his goal and two assists.

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal was not named official Man of the Match, despite his brilliance in the club's latest outing on Sunday. Instead, the award went the way of a Blaugrana attacking partner-in-crime.
Hansi Flick's troops were of course back in action a short time ago, making the trip to Mestalla for a La Liga meeting with Valencia.
