Legendary draw between Barcelona and Inter (3-3)
Lamine Yamal became the youngest player to score in the Champions League semi-finals, thus surpassing the previous record holder Kylian Mbappé.

Yamal pierced the defense of the Inter to score a masterful goal and launch a remarkable rise in the Catalans. Led 2-0, the Barcelonais finally equalized thanks to an exceptional solo goal from Yamal, which allowed the two teams to decide on in a 3-3 draw in a modern classic of the Champions League.

Lamine Yamal earlier than Mbappé

This goal from Yamal allowed him to enter the story by becoming the youngest player to score in the semi-finals of the competition, at the age of 17 and 291 days. Mbappé had marked in the semi-finals in 2017, during the 2-1 defeat of Monaco against Juventus. He was 18 and 140 days old.

Yamal in history

Yamal was remarkably fit in the Champions League this season, scoring four goals and delivering four assists in 11 games. He has scored at all the stages of competition so far.

Barça, which leads the Liga with four points ahead of Real Madrid, will face Valladolid this weekend. He will then face the Inter in the return match next Tuesday, before facing Real in an important clasico.
