Yamal became the youngest player to score two goals in a La Liga match. At the time of the game against Granada, the Barcelona youth product was only 16 years, 6 months, and 29 days old.
Additionally, Yamal became the only player in La Liga history to score three goals before turning 17. Ansu Fati and Iker Muniain had previously scored 2 goals at the age of 16.
