🏆 Yamal breaks CL record, Barça’s wonderkid outshines Mbappé | OneFootball

When it comes to the most beautiful triviality in the world – football – there is currently one name that is hard to miss in the headlines: Lamine Yamal. Recently, however, the focus has often been on unpleasant topics – such as the injury dispute between his club and the Spanish federation.

In the match against Eintracht Frankfurt at the home Camp Nou, the 18-year-old (!) star reminded us impressively yesterday in the Champions League that his outstanding football performances actually belong on the daily front pages of sports newspapers.

Although Barça's super talent did not score a goal himself this time, with his assist for teammate Jules Koundé's second goal, he surpassed another superstar in terms of goal involvements in the Champions League as a teenager: Kylian Mbappé – we're talking about the one who was just 19 when he won his first World Cup title!

When it comes to goal involvements by a player aged 18 or younger in the Champions League, the Spanish national player is now ahead. In his previous 27 CL appearances, he has achieved an incredible seven goals and seven assists – thus collecting one more scorer point than Mbappé at the same age and still has plenty of time to further expand this record. He won't turn 19 until July 2026. 

In this season alone, Yamal has scored six goals in twelve LaLiga matches. He has also already provided eight assists. In the current Champions League season, he stands at two goals and as many assists in five appearances.

Incredible numbers that leave us in awe – and make us wonder: Which records will Barça's shooting star not break if he continues at this rocket pace?!
