In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona played out a thrilling 3–3 draw with Club Brugge, and the match saw another milestone for Lamine Yamal.
Details: The young Spanish winger scored one of Barça’s three goals. According to Opta, Yamal has now been involved in 13 of Barcelona’s Champions League goals — the highest tally ever recorded by a player under the age of 18. With that, he has matched Kylian Mbappé’s record at the same age.
However, the match also brought an unwanted statistic. Barcelona have now conceded at least one goal in nine consecutive games — their second-worst defensive run in the past 12 years. The last time they endured a longer streak was in 2013, when they conceded in 13 straight matches.
Reminder: In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Club Brugge hosted Barcelona, and the match featured a controversial incident.
