Lamine Yamal etched his name into the history books on Wednesday night, delivering a standout performance for FC Barcelona in their latest European outing.
The teenage sensation played a key role as Barcelona hosted Newcastle United in a UEFA Champions League clash at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
Hansi Flick’s side produced a dominant display, cruising to a commanding 7-2 victory to secure a place in the quarter-finals.
Operating from the right flank, Yamal delivered an impressive all-round performance, registering both a goal and an assist over the course of the encounter.
In doing so, the Spain international reached another remarkable milestone in his rapidly rising career.
According to Opta (via Get Spanish Football News), at 18 years and 248 days, he has become the youngest player ever to score 10 goals in UEFA Champions League history, surpassing the previous record held by Kylian Mbappé, who achieved the feat in 2017 at 18 years and 350 days.
Barcelona will now turn their attention to a heavyweight all-Spanish showdown against Atlético Madrid in the quarter-finals.
