The potential return of Barcelona’s young striker, Al-Amin Gamal, against Las Palmas in the Spanish Premier League after recovering from injury will give a major boost to the leaders of the standings, who have faltered in their last two matches locally.
Yesterday, Wednesday, Jamal (17 years old) won the Golden Boy Award for the year 2024, which is given to the best under-21 player in Europe, after an exceptional season in which he became the youngest player to win the European Championship when Spain beat England 2-1 in the final match.
The player continued his brilliance this season, scoring five goals and providing seven assists in 12 league matches with Barcelona, which was severely affected by his absence in recent weeks due to an ankle injury.
The gap separating the defending champion from second-placed Real Madrid, which played a postponed match remaining, at the top was reduced from six points to four points after Barcelona settled for one point from the last two league matches, bringing its streak of consecutive victories to a halt at seven matches in all competitions.
But the team’s performance in the Champions League did not decline, and it achieved an easy 3-0 victory over Brest last Tuesday, after which coach Hansi Flick appeared on the television broadcast having a lively conversation with Jamal.
Barcelona has a wonderful unbeaten record in its last 20 matches with Las Palmas in the Spanish League.
Las Palmas has not won against Barcelona in the Spanish League since 1971.
Real Madrid, who collected 30 points from 13 matches, seeks to stay close to Barcelona when it hosts Getafe next Sunday.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti’s team hopes to heal its wounds after the 2-0 defeat in the Champions League against Liverpool yesterday, Wednesday, which led to a decline in the momentum it had built after two major wins in the Spanish League over Osasuna and Leganés.
