Yamal rewrote a record that had stood since 1958. What did the footballer achieve?

In Barcelona’s La Liga Matchday 33 clash at home to Celta Vigo, one of the Catalan side’s key players rewrote a piece of football history.

Details: According to Stats Foot, Lamine Yamal has become the youngest player to reach the 30-goal mark in Europe’s top five leagues since Jimmy Greaves, who achieved the feat for Chelsea on August 30, 1958. Greaves was 18 years and 6 months old at the time, while Yamal is now 18 years and 9 months old.

However, Barcelona’s star man Lamine Yamal also suffered an injury. He was unable to continue the match and left the pitch. Moreover, after being substituted, he headed straight down the tunnel.

By the way, midway through the first half, full-back Joao Cancelo picked up an injury. He received medical attention, but was still unable to continue the match. He was replaced on the pitch by Balde.

Reminder: Barcelona are currently fighting for the league title, but the club is already planning the 2026 summer transfer window and deciding which players they are willing to let go.
