According to a report by Barca Universal on Monday November 9, 2026, Lamine Yamal has become Europe’s leading assist provider across the major leagues this season, recording 12 assists for Barcelona in La Liga and the Champions League.

The Spanish forward has moved ahead of several established stars, including Ballon d’Or winner Harry Kane, while continuing to make a significant contribution to his team’s attacking success.

Although Yamal missed out on the 2026 Ballon d’Or, finishing behind Kane and Kylian Mbappe, his performances this campaign have strengthened his case for next year’s award. The 19-year-old has been particularly impressive with his creativity and consistency in the final third.

According to AS, Yamal currently leads Europe’s major leagues with 12 assists. Eight of those have come in La Liga, while the remaining four were recorded in the Champions League. Kane follows closely with 11 assists, while Florian Thauvin, Nico Paz and Marco Grull have managed eight apiece.

In the Champions League, however, Yamal is not at the top of the standings. Como midfielder Nico Paz leads that competition with five assists. The Barcelona winger remains comfortably ahead in the Spanish league, where Espanyol’s Javier Hernandez has six assists and teammate Fermin Lopez has five.

Yamal’s influence extends beyond creating goals, as he has also become an important scorer for Barcelona. Across La Liga and the Champions League, he has contributed directly to 25 goals, registering 13 strikes alongside his 12 assists.

Together with Raphinha, the young forward has played a major role in Barcelona’s attacking output and their position at the top of the table. His performances are also building momentum ahead of another potential Ballon d’Or challenge.

However, individual recognition will depend partly on Barcelona’s collective achievements. Winning the Champions League could significantly strengthen the chances of either Yamal or Raphinha claiming the prestigious award next year.
