Barça’s Bright Spark Out, Prague Clash Looms: Yamal Misses a Key Champions League Test
10 December 2025
Yamal Out of Barca's Prague Mission
Lamine Yamal, Barcelona's breakout talent, will miss their upcoming Champions League meeting with Slavia Prague after earning a third yellow card of the campaign.
Barça travel to Prague on January 21, in the Czech capital, as they chase a vital result in the group stage.
The booking came in the 56th minute of Friday's clash with Eintracht Frankfurt, when Yamal committed a strong foul on Brown, earning a caution.
According to competition rules, he will sit out the Prague game due to card accumulation. Barcelona will hope their young stars can fill the gap.
Barça Rally Past Frankfurt; Yamal's Absence Explained
Barcelona then turned a deficit into a 2-1 victory over Frankfurt, thanks to Jules Conde's late double.
That win leaves Barça on 10 points, sitting in fourteenth place in the standings.
Barça collected points from wins over Newcastle, Olympiakos and Frankfurt, plus a draw with Club Brugge, having previously lost to Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.
Punchline 1: If cards were fashion accessories, Yamal would own the season.
Punchline 2: Barcelona's defense is so polite, it keeps saying 'after you' to the next shot.
