Two records Barcelona gem could break with Spain during this international break

The month of September has started on an excellent note for Lamine Yamal, who was called up for the Spanish national team for the upcoming international break.

La Roja have matches lined up against Georgia and Cyprus as they look to recover their form after a poor start to the UEFA Euro qualifying campaign.

Yamal is in contention to beat Gavi’s records

Lamine Yamal, who is the youngest starter ever for Barcelona, is in contention to break yet another record this week.

Indeed, the Barcelona starlet could become the youngest player to ever feature for Spain, if he makes an appearance in any of the two matches this week.

The record is currently held by Gavi, who achieved the feat back in 2021 when he featured against Italy in the UEFA Nations League semifinal (17 years 02 months 01 day).

If Yamal makes his debut against Georgia on Friday, he will break the record held by Gavi by almost a year as he will be 16 years, 1 month, and 19 days old.

Yamal could break another record held by Gavi this week. That is if he manages to score in any of the two matches for Spain.

The La Masia graduate would then become the youngest-ever goalscorer for La Roja, a position currently held by Gavi (17 years and 10 months).

While the Barcelona youth prodigy might not necessarily receive a start, he could certainly make an appearance from the bench.

But it must be noted that Yamal has been one of Barça’s main attackers this season, racking up two assists in four matches.

Although there is still room for improvement, Yamal certainly has the quality to become an asset not only to Barcelona but also to the Spanish national team in the years to come.

To that end, a strong start to an international career could go a long way in boosting his confidence for the season ahead.
