Match Report: Barcelona 3-0 Real Oviedo

Date: January 25, 2026

Competition: La Liga (Matchday 21)

The Moment of Magic

In the 73rd minute of the match, with Barcelona already leading 2-0 thanks to goals from Dani Olmo and Raphinha, Lamine Yamal produced what many are already calling the "Goal of the Season."

Goal Sequence:

1. The Build-up: Dani Olmo received the ball on the left wing and looked up to see Yamal making a late run toward the far post.

2. The Delivery: Olmo whipped in a precise, looping cross. The ball was slightly behind Yamal, forcing him to adjust his body mid-air.

3. The Finish: Instead of trying to control it or head it, Yamal leaped and executed a perfectly timed bicycle kick (described by some outlets as an "acrobatic sideways scissor-kick").

4. The Result: The ball flew past Oviedo goalkeeper Aarón Escandell into the top corner, sending the Camp Nou crowd into a frenzy.

Match Context

The win was vital for Hansi Flick's side, as it allowed Barcelona to reclaim the top spot in La Liga, moving one point ahead of Real Madrid. Despite a scoreless and frustrating first half, the team's quality shone through in the second half, punctuated by Yamal's "sheer beauty" of a goal.
