Barcelona’s 18-year-old winger becomes competition’s most prolific teenager with assist in comeback win.
Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal has officially become the most productive teenager in Champions League history. The 18-year-old winger set a new competition record during Barça’s gritty 2-1 comeback victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday night.
Starting in his familiar role on the right wing, Yamal was instrumental in the Blaugrana’s fightback. With the game in the balance in the second half, the youngster provided a crucial assist for the winning goal, showcasing the composure that belies his age.
That contribution wasn’t just vital for the three points—it was historic. According to Bleacher Report, the assist marked Yamal’s 14th goal involvement (combining goals and assists) in the Champions League while still aged 18 or younger. This officially moves him past Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappé, who previously held the record.
The milestone adds another chapter to Yamal’s remarkable rise, cementing his status as one of world football’s most exciting young talents. His record-breaking form proved essential for Barcelona, securing a badly-needed return to winning ways in Europe and offering a bright glimpse into the club’s future.
