Yamal nears historic Barcelona scoring record

Lamine Yamal’s extraordinary rise shows no sign of slowing after his decisive strike against Athletic Bilbao pushed him toward yet another historic milestone. As reported by *Mundo Deportivo*, the Barcelona prodigy has now scored 19 goals in 36 matches this season—already the best tally of his young career, surpassing the 18 he managed last year and the seven he recorded in 2023/24. 

The teenager has now reached 50 career goals: 44 for Barcelona and six for Spain, an astonishing feat at just 18 years and 237 days. For comparison, Lionel Messi hit the 50‑goal mark at 20 years and 315 days, while Cristiano Ronaldo did so at 21 years and 297 days. 

Yamal is also closing in on Raúl’s long‑standing record for most goals in a single competition before turning 19. With 14 league goals and 11 rounds remaining, he has a genuine opportunity to surpass Raúl’s 19‑goal benchmark from the 1995/96 season.
