The Matchday 8 fixture of the Champions League at Camp Nou keeps delivering history-making moments.
Details: In the 65th minute, Barcelona's young sensation Lamine Yamal put his team ahead, making it 2-1. This goal marked his eighth career strike in Europe's premier competition, propelling the 18-year-old Spaniard to a unique world milestone.
At 18 years and 199 days, Lamine Yamal has become the youngest player ever to reach eight Champions League goals. He has surpassed Kylian Mbappé's benchmark, who netted his eighth at 18 years and 302 days back in October 2017 with PSG. Yamal eclipses the Frenchman's feat by more than three months, cementing his reputation as football's leading modern-day wunderkind.
It’s also worth noting that Barcelona later netted a third—Raphinha converted from the penalty spot.
