While Marc Guiu and Fermin Lopez have delighted FC Barcelona in a few matches, Lamine Yamal has appeared as Barça’s real nugget since the start of the season. Although he is only 16 years old, the Spanish neo-international is already a regular starter at the club culé and he is breaking rare records for precocity. This is particularly the case during this Saturday’s Clasico.
Despite the defeat of Xavi’s flock (1-2), the attacking midfielder entered the history of the culé club and the Clasico. Indeed, coming on in the 76th minute in place of Joao Cancelo, Yamal became the youngest player in history to have played in a Clasico in La Liga. Aged 16 years and 107 days, the previous record of Vicente Martínez in October 1941, who faced Real Madrid at the age of 16 years and 280 days.
