Barcelona kicked their Champions League campaign back into gear earlier this week, making the trip to Istanbul for a showdown with Turkish champions Galatasaray.

And en route to an eventual 4-1 triumph for the visitors, the Spanish international played a leading role. With the sides deadlocked at a goal apiece early in the 2nd-half, Lamine took full creative responsibility on his young shoulders, laying on a pair of wonderful assists to send Barcelona on their way to all three points.
And as alluded to above, on Thursday, this excellence has been aptly recognised by UEFA.
