Confirmed: Barcelona superstar Lamine Yamal nominated for two La Liga awards for October After another month filled with solid performances, Barcelona teenage superstar Lamine Yamal has been nominated for the La Liga Player of the Month for October. The Blaugrana were dealt with a couple of setbacks during this month, losing to PSG in the UEFA Champions League and later to Real Madrid in La Liga. But their teenage sensation Lamine has continued to perform exceedingly well. Lamine continues strong run The 19-year-old attacker was one of the stars of the show for Barcelona in their 3-0 win over Getafe, registering one assist during the match. He followed with yet another influential display against Real Betis with one goal and one assist as Barça ran riot to secure a 5-2 win over Manuel Pellegrini’s side. However, Lamine was unable to have the same level of impact as Barcelona fell to a 1-2 defeat to Real Madrid in El Clasico last weekend. Nevertheless, his performances so far have earned him a nomination for the La Liga Player of the Month for October. The Barcelona academy product will go up against Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe, Matias Dituro of Elche, Alejandro Grimaldo of Atletico Madrid, and Goncalo Guedes of Real Sociedad. Lamine’s spectacular strike earns nomination Not only that, but Lamine’s spectacular goal in the win against Real Betis has earned him a nomination for the La Liga Goal of the Month for October. The 19-year-old World Cup winner found the back of the net with an absolute golazo , cutting in from the right and beating an opposition defender with skillful footwork, before unleashing a curling effort beyond the goalkeeper. Lamine will once again face competition from Real Madrid’s Mbappe for the prize, along with Hugo Novoa of Alaves.
