For the first game in what felt like forever to FC Barcelona fans, Sam played a game that he did not score or assist.
But that was not the important point after the heated El Clasico game in Barcelona. The main talking point should have still been Sam, because Rudiger's reckless tackle in the game left Sam injured.
FC Barcelona fans should be clamoring on social media for Rudiger's head in rage. Yes, they did clamor, but not as much as people expected.
This was because of the teenage wonder, Lamine Yamal.
Yesterday was Lamine Yamal's show. The Spanish wonderkid stole the limelight so thoroughly that fans seemingly forgot the fact that Sam actually sustained a facial injury in the game.
Not just the fans either, the media also fanned the flames.
After such a performance from Yamal, scoring the first hattrick of his career, the world of football reeled as they speculated the future performances that would be put out by the youngster.
