Yamal scored the first goal in the 7th minute of the first half in the 4th game of the 2026-2027 UCL League Phase home game against Aston Villa (England) held at Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain on the 4th (Korean time).
'Spanish fame' Barcelona won 3-0 with Yamal's goal and Rafinha's multiple goals in the second half, recording 3 wins, 1 draw (9 points).
