Lamine Yamal drops trivela masterclass as Rashford scores in training image

Barcelona fans might want to get used to hearing the names Yamal and Rashford in the same sentence — because the duo are cooking something special.

In a recent training session during Barca’s pre-season tour in Korea, Lamine Yamal showed off his flair by delivering a stunning trivela assist to Marcus Rashford, who calmly slotted the ball home.

It wasn’t just a goal — it was a message. The kind that says, “Watch out, La Liga.”

The 18-year-old Yamal, now wearing the club’s iconic No.10 shirt, seems to be stepping into his new role with confidence — and a little cheek.

Not only did he set up Rashford in style, but he also mimicked the English forward’s signature celebration during another session.

The finger-to-temple pose? Yup, Yamal nailed it.

Both players featured in the friendly win over FC Seoul. Yamal scored twice. Rashford came off the bench to provide an assist. It’s early days, but signs of chemistry between the pair are already showing.

How Rashford and Yamal are bonding at Barcelona?

Behind the scenes, the bond between the two forwards reportedly began before Rashford even landed in Spain.

The England international had been texting Yamal and other Barca players, making his desire to join the Catalan club clear. “Rashford’s only intention this summer was to join Barcelona,” The Athletic reported.

That early connection seems to be paying off. While senior players raised concerns over the new training kit, Yamal and Rashford were busy linking up and sharing laughs.

Rashford’s move — on loan from Manchester United — includes a reported €30 million option to buy, which could look like a bargain if his pre-season form continues.

Barca’s next game is against Daegu FC, and fans will be watching to see if Rashford and Yamal can keep this partnership sizzling.
