Barcelona starlet Lamine Yamal has on Wednesday etched his name ever further into the history books of European football.
This comes owing to his appearance in Barcelona’s meeting with Bayern Munich.
Hansi Flick’s troops are of course currently locked in action, in a Champions League meeting with German heavyweights Bayern in Catalunya’s capital.
Wide-man Lamine, as expected, was afforded his latest start in the clash, featuring from the off from his customary berth on the right flank.
And, as alluded to above, in the process, the Spanish international made history.
As revealed by statisticians StatMuse:
‘Lamine Yamal is the first player in UCL history to start 10 games before turning 18.’
As things stand in the early exchanges at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, it is Barcelona who boast the advantage, after Raphinha did brilliantly to round Manuel Neuer and slot home into the empty net inside the opening 120 seconds.
