Lamine Yamal, at the tender age of 16, is living the dream that every aspiring footballer around the world envisions. His recent achievement of becoming the youngest player ever to represent and score for the Spain national team made headlines, but his record-breaking journey began well before that remarkable moment. Let’s take a closer look at the eight astonishing records that Yamal has shattered since turning 16, highlighting his incredible talent and potential.

1. Youngest Debutant with Barca: At the astonishing age of 15 years and 290 days, Lamine Yamal made history by becoming the youngest player to debut for Barcelona. He achieved this milestone during a match against Real Betis, setting the stage for his incredible career ahead.
2. Youngest Debutant with Barca Atletic: Lamine Yamal continued to impress, becoming the youngest player to make his debut for Barcelona’s reserve team, Barca Atletic, at just 15 years and 297 days, in a match against Eldense.
3. Youngest La Liga Champion: Yamal’s ascent continued as he became the youngest La Liga champion at the age of 15 years and 305 days, a feat accomplished during a match against Espanyol. This achievement broke Marc Muniesa’s previous record (17 years and 51 days).
4. Youngest La Liga Starter in the 21st Century: In a league known for its fierce competition, Yamal made history once again by becoming the youngest La Liga starter in the 21st century at just 16 years and 38 days, during a match against Cadiz. He surpassed Fabrice Olinga’s previous record (16 years and 112 days).
5. Youngest Player to Register an Assist in La Liga in the 21st Century: Yamal’s contributions to Barcelona’s success continued as he became the youngest player to provide an assist in La Liga in the 21st century at the age of 16 years and 45 days, during a match against Villarreal. This achievement eclipsed Juanmi Jimenez’s previous record (16 years and 311 days).
6. Youngest Debutant for Spain: Yamal’s talent caught the attention of the Spanish national team selectors, and he made his debut for Spain at the incredibly young age of 16 years and 57 days, during a match against Georgia. This achievement broke Gavi’s previous record (17 years and 62 days).
7. Youngest Goalscorer for Spain: Yamal’s journey with the Spanish national team reached new heights as he became the youngest goalscorer for Spain at 16 years and 57 days, with a goal against Georgia. This remarkable achievement also surpassed Gavi’s previous record (17 years and 304 days).
8. Youngest Player to Score in a European Championship Qualifier: In a crucial European Championship qualifier match, Yamal displayed his scoring prowess once again, becoming the youngest player to score in such a match at just 16 years and 57 days, against Georgia.

While Yamal has already accomplished so much at such a young age, it’s worth noting that he won’t be able to break the record for the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League, as he is slightly older than Youssoufa Moukoko (16 years and 27 days) when he made his debut in the competition for Borussia Dortmund. Nevertheless, Lamine Yamal’s meteoric rise in the world of football continues to captivate fans and experts alike, as they eagerly anticipate what this young prodigy will achieve next on the grand stage of football.
