Lamine Yamal, the nugget of Barça offers a record!

FC Barcelona won a completely crazy match on Sunday in La Liga, on the lawn of Villarreal. While they had to take the break after only a quarter of an hour of play, thanks to Gavi (12^e) and Frenkie de Jong (15^e), the Blaugranas were joined by the score (26^e40^e) before conceding a third goal after returning from the locker room (50^e). It then took two goals from Ferran Torres (66^e) and Robert Lewandowski (71^e) for Xavi’s players to reverse the situation (4-3).

This success, which allows them to settle in third place in the championship, two points behind Real Madrid, the Catalans also owe it in large part to Lamine Yamal. If he did not score against the “Yellow Submarine”, the FCB prodigy actively participated in this result, to the point of being elected man of the match. The young striker particularly distinguished himself on the opener, with an offering for Gavi. What earned him to enter the annals of Spanish football.

Unheard of since the post-war period!

At 16 years and 45 days, Lamine Yamal has effectively become the youngest player to deliver an assist in La Liga since the post-war period, according to the Twitter account Soccer Stats. The phenomenon is such that even the Madrid press is on fire for him. “We don’t remember such an eruption in La Liga: look at Lamine Yamal’s crazy mach”headlined the newspaper ASadding that the Barcelona crack “defies logic”. La Masia has produced yet another rough diamond.
