Ah yes, the old "goal and assist are all that matter". Yet Yamal was the best player across two legs vs Inter. He drove the team forward and it was only the defense that let him down.
And you don't even care for Barca's domestic success. Winning all trophies against Real Madrid must be less impressive than Qsg winning Ligue 1 agaisnt Nante for you.
I'm sure Yamal was the highest rated player in Europe last season, by stats (Whoscored for example). So no need to bring number to discredit Yamal's effort.
The discussion was on decisiveness in top games
I wasn't discounting Yamal's impact but trying to talk more about decisiveness in the sport. If Messi dribbled without putting the ball in the net or assisting, and Barca lost all their UCL semifinals, and Argentina also lost theirs, I don't think people would say Messi was the most decisive for those seasons.
So when a neutral person checks the stats below, it would be clear that Dumfries was more decisive in the 2 legs (He scored 2 goals with 2 shots, Yamal was the better player, but Dumfries was definitely more decisive). I think Mbappe echoed similar opinions that you have to win the strong trophies to have a higher chance of winning the Ballon Dor
Yamal = 20 successful dribbles, 3 key passes, 17 shots, and 1 goal with zero assists across 2 legs against Inter
Dumfries = 4 successful dribbles, 5 key passes, 2 shots, 2 goals, and 3 assists across 2 legs against Barca
Dembele = 0 dribbles, 4 shots, 3 key passes, 0 goals and 2 assists in one game against Inter
