Lamine Yamal continues to etch his name into football history after scoring in Barcelona’s latest match สมัครแทงบอล against Mallorca, becoming the highest-scoring player in Europe’s top five leagues before turning 19. The teenage winger has now netted 24 goals, surpassing Kylian Mbappé’s previous record of 23 goals at the same age.

The Barcelona starlet, who will turn 19 on July 13, has impressed throughout the season with his pace, vision and outstanding dribbling ability. Already regarded as one of the world’s most exciting young creators, Yamal has also proven himself to be a clinical finisher in front of goal.

Yamal has previously overtaken several renowned young talents, including Wayne Rooney, Valeri Bojinov and his Barcelona teammate Ansu Fati. He has also climbed above former La Liga prodigies such as Bojan Krkić and even Lionel Messi in certain age-related scoring records in Spain’s top flight.

This season, the 18-year-old has scored in five consecutive matches against Mallorca, Albacete, Elche, Copenhagen and Real Oviedo. He currently sits on 15 goals for the campaign, closing in on his personal best of 18 goals set last season.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has revealed he is hopeful that French striker Hugo Ekitike will be fit in time to feature in Thursday’s crucial Premier League clash against Arsenal, after the player picked up a hamstring-related issue.

Slot explained that Ekitike could not be risked in Liverpool’s most recent league match away at Fulham แทงบอล on Sunday. The forward suffered the injury during training and was sent for an MRI scan, which showed that the problem was more serious than initially hoped. Early expectations were that it might only be DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness), a common muscle pain after intense activity, but the scan ruled out taking any chances.

The Liverpool manager also pointed out that Ekitike has been heavily overworked following the injury to Alexander Isak. As a result, the Frenchman has been required to start almost every match in both the Premier League and the Champions League, with very little rest — something Slot described as a new experience in Ekitike’s career.

In addition, Slot addressed the management of German midfield prodigy Florian Wirtz, who was substituted in the 76th minute as a precaution to avoid a recurrence of injury. Wirtz had experienced similar symptoms the previous week, but MRI results confirmed it was only muscle fatigue.

Manchester City received bad news after their 1-0 away win over Brentford, as Pep Guardiola confirmed that Rodri Hernandez has sustained a muscle injury and is expected to be out for approximately 2–3 weeks. This forces the City manager to rethink his midfield options in the upcoming matches.

In the match, Pep praised his team’s performance in the first half, calling it one of the most impressive 45-minute displays in recent months. However, he admitted that the second half was more challenging, as the opponents applied heavy pressure and crossed the ball frequently, limiting City’s chances to create additional scoring opportunities.

The Spanish coach explained that Rodri’s substitution in previous games was part of managing his physical workload, as the player has been featuring every three days แทงบอล throughout the season. After a full year of heavy playing time, some fatigue is inevitable, so Rodri is usually allowed to play around 60–65 minutes to prevent overexertion. This time, however, the injury forced him off the field.

Regarding the recovery period, Pep briefly stated, “It’s a muscle injury, so probably two or three weeks,” expressing regret as Rodri is a key player for the team, and the club has been taking every measure to care for him.

Rodri’s absence will be a challenge for City’s midfield, given his ability to control the tempo of the game and break up opposition play, which are central to Pep’s tactical setup. This period is likely to see adjustments in tactics or opportunities for substitute players to step into his role.

Despite losing a key player, Pep remains positive about the team’s direction, noting that overall performance has been steadily improving, and the squad is in good shape following the previous result against Manchester United. However, managing player fitness and match scheduling will be critical in the weeks ahead.
