List of all records Lamine Yamal has broken with Barcelona and Spain

From playing with the club’s Juvenil A outfit to becoming one of the first names on Xavi’s teamsheet, Lamine Yamal has had a whirlwind few months.

Not only is the 16-year-old wonderkid a regular for Barcelona’s first-team setup now, but on the back of his performances, Yamal has also managed to break into the Spanish national team and make an immediate impact.

Indeed, Yamal made his debut for Spain on Friday in their 7-1 triumph over Georgia in the UEFA Euro 2024 Qualifiers.

In doing so, he became the youngest-ever player to represent La Roja on the international stage, but it did not stop at that.

Yamal scored a goal in the second half of the match to become the youngest goalscorer in the history of the Spanish national team.

Both records were held by another Barcelona academy prodigy in the form of Gavi, but Yamal has made them his own, much like several other milestones he has achieved in the past six months or so.
