Lamine Yamal makes it 4-0 for Barcelona against Feyenoord with his first direct free-kick goal in the Champions League. The stat is confirmed by MisterChip: at 19 years and 58 days old, the winger becomes the third-youngest free-kick scorer of the UCL era.

Only Wayne Rooney (18 years and 340 days, against Fenerbahçe in 2004) and Ismail Izmailov (19 years and 33 days, against Anderlecht in 2001) scored a direct free kick at a younger age in the competition.

Behind Lamine are Mario Balotelli (2009) and Miralem Pjanic (2009), both aged 19 and over one hundred days.

The goal came in the 78th minute and made it 4-0 at Camp Nou on matchday one of the 2026/27 Champions League league phase.

The strike adds another individual milestone to a season in which the La Masia youngster continues to expand his list of precocious records.
