Another more and it goes, the new record that the jewel Lamine Yamal shattered

Lamine Yamal is one of the biggest promises in the lower divisions of FC Barcelona, and the product from ‘La Masía’ has the full confidence of head coach Xavi Hernández. So much so that the spanish mister included him among the starters for the match against Porto for the second day of the UEFA Champions League, a decision that earned him the award of a new record.

The Estadio do Dragão witnessed another historic mark that broke the young future of the spanish team. The youth player, who turned only 16 ages old on July 13, continues to break records with his presence wearing the FC Barcelona shirt and continues to excite the fans who have placed their hopes in him.

This wednesday on portuguese lands, Lamine Yamal scored a new record to ensure a presence in the history of world football and not just Barcelona. Two weeks ago, during his club's first presentation against Antwerp of Belgium, Yamal became the youngest player of the catalan team to play minutes in the Champions League, surpassing Ansu Fati. But now, with Xavi Hernández's decision to put him in the starting eleven, the spanish jewel broke the absolute record for the youngest debutants in the competition.

A new record for the notebook and the one that is missing

On portuguese soil, Lamine Yamal has achieved a new record and not only for FC Barcelona, but for the entire history of the competition. According to the renowned football statesman, Mister Chip, Yamal has become the youngest footballer in history to start in the UEFA Champions League, breaking this record by very little: just three days! Celestine Babayaro, a nigerian footballer who played for Anderlecht in the 1990s, started for 16 years and 86 days, while Lamine did so for 16 years and 83 days. However, he still lacks the most important one: to be the youngest scorer in Europe's top competition. And he hopes to achieve it in the short term, although he has the entire season to achieve it and unseat Ansu Fati, who achieved it on December 10, 2019 at San Siro (1-2 against Inter Milan) at 17 years and 40 days old.
