Lamine embarrasses Almeria star with insane dribble

Lamine mesmerised spectators with his exceptional dribbling skills, leaving Almeria defender Bruno Langa stranded.

Despite a heavy first touch that appeared to put him at risk of losing possession, Yamal deftly kept control of the ball with an outstretched leg, evading Langa's attempts to intercept.

With finesse and agility, the 16-year-old swiftly manoeuvred past his marker, threading the ball through Langa's legs before leaving him trailing behind, unable to catch up.
