Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal became the youngest player to reach ten Champions League goals, equaling Kylian Mbappe’s record during a high-scoring first half against Newcastle United at the Spotify Camp Nou.
Lamine Yamal etched his name into football history during an electric Champions League clash between Barcelona and Newcastle United.
The 18-year-old’s composed first-half penalty marked his tenth goal in the competition, making him the youngest player ever to reach that landmark.
The strike moved Yamal level with Kylian Mbappe for the most Champions League goals scored before the age of 19.
The La Masia graduate’s record-breaking moment capped a chaotic first period that saw five goals scored within 45 minutes.
Despite an earlier missed opportunity, Yamal’s clinical finish past Aaron Ramsdale restored Barcelona’s lead heading into the break.
As the match report noted: “Time and again, Lamine has stepped up for Barcelona in key moments, doing so again today.”
