The prodigious talent from Barcelona has once again secured a new record
Barcelona’s rising star, Lamine Yamal, made history during the match against Osasuna (2:0) by setting a new age-related record. Hailing from La Masia, the 16-year-old winger became the youngest footballer ever to score in a Spanish Super Cup match, achieving this milestone at the age of 16 years and 182 days. His decisive goal, making it 2:0, occurred in injury time.
Having surpassed the previous record held by Ansu Fati, who scored in the Super Cup at 17 years and 70 days, Yamal’s accomplishment is noteworthy. Initially starting on the bench, he entered the field in the first half due to Rafinha’s injury.
