FC Barcelona defeated Celta Vigo 1-0 after a fierce and difficult match at the Spotify Camp Nou on Wednesday night.
Despite losing Lamine Yamal to injury, the Blaugrana maintained a nine-point lead over Real Madrid, their nearest competitor, and gained three vital points in their race for the league title.
Tests conducted on Thursday confirmed that the La Masia graduate will not be wearing the Blaugrana shirt again for the rest of the season, as preliminary results were not encouraging for the Catalan team.
Without their best player, Hansi Flick’s club must now finish the league, which is already well on course.
Barcelona’s Numbers Without Yamal This Campaign
Yamal has undoubtedly been Barcelona’s finest player this season. He has participated in nearly every game, contributing 18 assists and 24 goals.
This is in spite of the fact that he missed five games due to pubic soreness in late September and early October.
According to the data gotten from Barca Universal, Flick’s team were able to win four games—against Newcastle United, Valencia, Getafe, and Real Oviedo—and lose just once—against Sevilla—despite his undeniable significance.

The No. 10 has only missed one more game since then because of suspension. Barcelona also prevailed in an away game (2-4) against Slavia Prague.
Who Will Take His Place?
Even though Roony Bardghji was the squad’s most obvious replacement, the Swedish player did not typically occupy the right side during those six games.
In three of the six games without Yamal, Raphinha was used as a right winger. Marcus Rashford (1) and Bardghji (2) split the remaining three.
The Brazilian is also injured and Rashford is required on the left side.
