The impossible precocity record for Lamine Yamal in the Champions League

Football fans hear the name Lamine Yamal and know that something special happened or is about to happen. However, the new '10' of the Blaugrana team will no longer be able to achieve a record established in the magical nights of the UEFA Champions League.

Thus, Lamine left his mark in the 2023/24 season as one of the most dazzling breakthroughs in European football, dazzling with his poise and maturity despite his young age. However, the record for the youngest debut in the history of the Champions League is no longer within his reach.

That honor belongs to the German Youssoufa Moukoko, who made his debut in the top continental competition with just 16 years and 18 days, while the left winger of FC Barcelona debuted with 16 years and 68 days.

Lamine Yamal's historical records in the Champions League

In this context, although Lamine Yamal will no longer be able to become the youngest debutant in the competition, he does have a series of enviable records for any other player of his age in Europe.

And that the native of Rocafonda, according to the official Champions League page, is the: 

1. Youngest player to start (16 years and 83 days)
2. Youngest player in the knockout round (16 years and 223 days)
3. Youngest player in the quarter-finals (16 years and 272 days) 
4. Youngest player to reach ten games (16 years and 278 days)
5. Youngest player to score and assist in a match (17 years and 241 days)
6. Youngest player to reach 20 matches (17 years and 270 days)
7. Youngest player to score in the semi-finals (17 years and 291 days) 

In addition to this, the forward is also the second youngest player to start in a Champions League semi-final, only surpassed by Julian Draxler with 17 years and 226 days. It should be noted that all these data are related to the Champions League.

Lamine Yamal, facing the desire to surpass his numbers from the 2024/25 Champions League

In this argumentative order, Lamine Yamal would like to surpass the records he had last season in the Champions League. The '10' scored 5 goals and 4 assists to his personal account.

However, the Rocafonda native is not satisfied and wants to continue expanding his figures. He already has 1 goal and 2 assists in the first two matchdays in LaLiga, showing, once again, that he wants to continue being one of the best players in the world.

Barça with Lamine was on the verge of a new Champions League final last season after 10 years. Therefore, the player would also have the desire to lift the biggest title on the old continent between his eyebrows.
