Yamal’s Penalty Secures 1-0 Win as Barcelona Reclaims Nine-Point Lead

Barcelona edged past Celta Vigo at Camp Nou to restore a nine-point advantage at the top of LaLiga. Lamine Yamal earned and converted a 39th-minute penalty after a fierce first half. An early knock to João Cancelo forced Alejandro Balde into action, and Yamal himself went off injured after his spot-kick. Celta Vigo actually led in expected goals (1.41 to 1.23) and pressed hard after the break. But goalkeeper Joan García produced key saves to preserve the clean sheet and seal the narrow victory for the hosts.
