Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has on Tuesday continued to etch his name ever further into the history books of European football. This comes owing to his exploits in the Blaugrana’s latest outing.
Hansi Flick’s troops are of course currently locked in action on the continent, in a Champions League meeting with Unai Emery’s Aston Villa.
As things stand in a wide-open affair, it is hosts Barca who boast the advantage, leading by a solitary goal to nil.
And it was the aforementioned Lamine Yamal who broke the deadlock at the Spotify Camp Nou. Taking advantage of a mix-up at the back on the part of Villa, the 19-year-old cut onto his trusty left foot to pick out the far corner in style.
And as alluded to above, in the process, Lamine made history. As revealed by TNT Sports:
‘Lamine Yamal has overtaken Kylian Mbappé to become the highest-scoring teenager in Champions League history.’
