The numbers clearly show that Barcelona star Lamine Yamal is ahead of Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior.
It’s not just about the duo’s career in the Spanish league giants, but also on the international level with Spain and Brazil.
Yamal played in Spain’s match against Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League, where he set up Joselu’s first goal.
The numbers show that the 17-year-old has scored 3 goals and provided 9 assists for a total of 12 goal contributions in just 17 international matches for Spain.
In contrast, Vinicius, 24, has played 34 international matches for Brazil, scoring 5 goals and providing 5 assists for a total of just 10 goal contributions.
Yamal’s achievements did not stop at outperforming the first candidate for the Golden Ball, but also reached a huge number equal to Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne.
The assist against Switzerland took Yamal’s tally to 17 assists in 2024 for club and country, equalling De Bruyne’s record, which he now seeks to break.
