Barcelona lead La Liga in unwanted penalty stat after Lamine Yamal miss | OneFootball

La Liga giants Barcelona have on Monday evening secured for themselves an altogether unwanted benchmark.

This comes owing to developments in the Blaugrana’s latest outing.

Hansi Flick’s troops are of course currently locked in action on the domestic front, in a league meeting with Catalan rivals Girona.

As things stand at the Estadi Montilivi, the two sides are deadlocked at a goal apiece, after Pau Cubarsí’s opener was quickly cancelled out by Thomas Lemar at the other end.

Barca, though, had a golden opportunity to take the lead even earlier in proceedings.

After the visitors were awarded a penalty late in the first-half, Lamine Yamal stood up to take responsibility.

The youngster’s ensuing effort, however, rattled the base of the post.

And owing to as much, Barcelona secured for themselves a share of an altogether undesirable La Liga statistic.

As revealed by Opta:

‘No other team has missed more penalties than Barcelona in La Liga this season (3/7, level with Valencia 3/5).’
