Barcelona, Apr 23 (V7N)-  Barcelona maintained their winning momentum in La Liga with a narrow 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo at the Camp Nou.

Yamal scores, then exits injured

Teen sensation Lamine Yamal scored the decisive goal from the penalty spot in the 39th minute, securing all three points for FC Barcelona.

However, the joy was short-lived as the 18-year-old forward had to leave the field shortly after with a hamstring injury, raising concerns within the squad.

The win pushes the Catalan giants closer to the league title.

Concerns ahead of key fixtures

Yamal’s injury comes at a critical time, with the highly anticipated El Clásico approaching. His fitness is also a concern for Spain national football team ahead of upcoming international competitions.

Outlook

While Barcelona continue their dominant run, the extent of Yamal’s injury could play a crucial role in the title race and upcoming fixtures.
