Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal smashes another Champions League record vs Olympiacos | OneFootball

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has on Tuesday evening continued to etch his name ever further into the history books of European football.

This comes courtesy of his starting berth in the Blaugrana’s latest outing.

Barcelona are of course primed to return to action in short order.

Turning focus back towards matters on the continent, Hansi Flick’s troops have welcomed Greek heavyweights Olympiacos to Catalunya’s capital, for a Champions League showdown.

The aforementioned Lamine Yamal, fresh off his return from a spell on the sidelines through injury, has as expected been afforded a starting berth for the evening.

And owing to as much, the prodigious winger has made further history.

As revealed by statisticians Opta, Lamine, at 18 years and 100 days old, tonight becomes by some way the youngest player to ever reach 25 appearances in the Champions League.

The Spanish international has broken the record previously held by Paris Saint-Germain talent Warren Zaïre-Emery.
