Barcelona star Lamine Yamal recovered from a poor showing against Real Madrid by scoring twice against Alaves.

Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 1 November 2026

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick expressed relief after seeing young star Lamine Yamal find his scoring boots once again. The winger endured a difficult outing during the recent El Clasico fixture where he missed a key chance and struggled to impact the match.

Quick return to form

Any concerns regarding the teenager lasting in a slump were swiftly put to bed over the weekend. Lamine Yamal put in a stellar shift and netted two goals to secure a vital win against Alaves.

Confidence is everything for attacking players at the highest level of European football. Flick noted that the forward needed this performance to rebuild his self belief following the disappointment of the Madrid defeat.

Market implications

Punters looking at future goalscorer markets will take note of this strong response. Backing the youngster to find the net in upcoming fixtures now looks much more appealing for accumulator bets.

Bookmakers will likely shorten his odds for individual accolades and upcoming match markets following his latest brace. Bettors should monitor his price movement closely before placing new wagers on Barcelona matches.

What it means for a bet

Backers should expect shorter odds on Lamine Yamal for upcoming goalscorer markets following his recent double.
