Lamine Yamal Continues Record-Breaking Streak: Youngest to Score in Spanish Supercopa at 16 Years Old
Lamine Yamal’s meteoric rise at Barcelona in the 2023/24 season shows no signs of slowing down. His remarkable performance against Osasuna included a brilliant late goal that not only secured the win but also etched his name in the record books.
At the age of just 16 years and 182 days, Yamal has now become the youngest player to both participate and score in the Spanish Super Cup, surpassing the previous record held by Ansu Fati. This achievement adds to his growing list of accolades, having already broken records in 2023 as the youngest scorer in La Liga and the youngest goal-scorer for the Spanish national team.
As fans celebrate Yamal’s extraordinary accomplishments, questions arise about his playing time. Barcelona manager Xavi has provided insight into why Yamal doesn’t start every game, offering a glimpse into the strategic decisions behind the rising star’s role in the team. Additionally, Yamal himself sheds light on a player he “thanked” after the triumphant Osasuna win, providing a fascinating glimpse into the young talent’s journey and connections within the football world.
