Barcelona wonderkid shattered two historic records with Spain

Lamine Yamal, aged just 16, has taken the football world by storm and etched name in the record books.

Yamal, a wunderkind nurtured by the prestigious La Masia academy, has set numerous records for both his club and the Spanish national team. Notably, the teenager has become the youngest goal-scorer for Barcelona and the youngest starter in a Champions League match, solidifying his presence on the European stage.

Moreover, in a recent match against Croatia during the UEFA EURO 2024 Group B opener, Yamal made history by being the youngest player to ever start a Euro game and provide an assist in the tournament. His impact for Spain has been immense, as he also holds the title for the youngest goal-scorer in his country’s history.
