I'm afraid there are at least four different plants in that clump and it's very difficult to see the details. One if them looks like mouse ear chickweed, Cerastium vulgatum. There is another plant with toothed leaves but it's all tangled up with the others and the flower buds are at the back and impossible to make out. Can you separate the clump out and provide a larger picture?

Do you really need to be able to identify the several different weeds that are included in that clump? If they are growing in the lawn, spot spraying any broadleaved lawn weed herbicide should do the trick. Something like Weed B Gon or Bayer Lawn Weed Killer.

But what would I do during lockdown, gg, if people didn't ask about their individual weeds? ;-)

LOL!! Well, there is that, floral. But unless the OP can separate the multiple weeds in that clump to provide clear photos of each, we can only guess :-)

No longer guessing since the latest picture was posted. I answered on OPs duplicate thread.
