Lamine Yamal delivered another moment of brilliance, securing Barcelona’s 4-2 victory over Atlético Madrid with a dramatic 92nd-minute strike.
The goal not only wrapped up the three points but also cemented Yamal’s place in history, as he matched the record of Ansu Fati and Pablo Pombo for the most goals in La Liga before turning 18. All three now stand at 11 league goals.
At just 17, Yamal has been a standout performer this season, tallying 13 goals and 17 assists in 38 appearances across all competitions.
The winger’s rise has been meteoric. He made his first start for Barcelona on August 20, 2023, in a 2-0 win over Cádiz, earning a standing ovation when substituted with five minutes to go. Just a week later, he put in a dazzling display against Villarreal, assisting goals for Gavi and Robert Lewandowski in a thrilling 4-3 victory and claiming the man of the match award.
With every game, Yamal continues to prove why he is one of Barcelona’s most electrifying young talents.
