Lamine Yamal makes demand to EA Sports FC 25 after trivela assist for Barcelona wonderkid against Mallorca

La Masia academy graduate Yamal, fresh from helping Spain to Euro 2024 glory over the summer, is working on an overall rating of 81 in the latest release from EA Sports. His pace and dribbling ability has been recognised, but there are notable omissions from his base card.

Regular gamers will be aware of how productive the so-called ‘three-finger pass’ can be, along with shots that are also fired in using the outside of any given boot. As things stand, Yamal’s likeness in FC25 is unable to pull that piece of magic out of a limited bag of tricks.

That is despite the 17-year-old proving on a regular basis in real life that he definitely has the trivela in his locker. Yamal delivered an assist for Barca in a Catalan derby date with Espanyol using the outside of his boot, before seeing the same action contribute to the scoring of two goals in a meeting with Mallorca.

Yamal believes the time has come for EA Sports to give him an upgrade, with questions being put to them on social media. In a couple of posts on Instagram Stories, the youngsters has highlighted his ability and asked: “@easportsfc trivela+ when?”

Yamal is looking for EA Sports to tinker with the Playstyle+ attributes on his card, allowing him to break out a move in the virtual realm that he discussed during a post-match interview after starring against Mallorca. Asked about his flamboyant assists, Yamal said in a nod to FC25: “I don't know, I just pressed L2.”
