Holder against Cadiz on Sunday evening, Lamine Yamal became the youngest player in history to start a match in La Liga.
THE FC Barcelona will have taken time to conquer his first victory of the season in La Liga. After the draw at Getafe on Matchday 1, the Blaugranas were held back for a long time by a solid Cadiz side, who only gave up in the 83rd minute on a goal from Pedri before Ferran Torres doubled the advantage in the game stoppages.

A victory that is good for Xavi’s men, and a match that takes a special place in history since it was the scene of a new record in the Spanish championship. Holder on the right wing following the departure of Ousmane Dembélé in Paris and the suspension of Raphinha, Lamine Yamal became, at 16 years and 38 days, youngest player to start a La Liga game. Very active on his wing, the young Spaniard delivered a full performance and was the source of many dangers.
