Lamine Yamal is preparing to break a new La Liga record this season.
The 17-year-old scored twice in Barcelona’s return to league action in a 4-1 away win over Girona. The teenager continues to impress for club and country, breaking barriers for both teams.
He already holds Barcelona’s record as the club’s youngest ever starter, and their youngest ever goalscorer, as well as the club’s youngest ever goalscorer in La Liga. Two goals at Girona take him to three goals so far after scoring five in 2023/24, for a current overall tally of eight.
Fati in the crosshairs
He is now within striking distance of Ansu Fati’s joint record of 11 La Liga goals scored for the club by a player before his 18th birthday.
Lamine Yamal will not turn 18 until July 2025 and is expected to set new records at Barcelona throughout his career.
