Lamine Yamal Surpasses Kylian Mbappé's Champions League Record
At 18 years and 245 days, Yamal became the youngest to score in consecutive knockout games, reach 10 Champions League goals, and 30 appearances, breaking Kylian Mbappé’s record.
- In the span of eight days, Lamine Yamal broke three Champions League records as FC Barcelona advanced to the quarterfinals after an 8-3 aggregate win over Newcastle United.
- In stoppage time, Yamal buried a penalty at the Camp Nou to give Barcelona the 3-2 lead, after earlier salvaging a 1-1 draw at St James' Park with a spot kick.
- At 18 years and 245 days, Yamal became the youngest to reach 10 Champions League goals, overtaking Mbappé and joining Haaland as an under-20 scorer in knockout matches.
- Yamal's progression sets up matches on April 8 where he can extend his European tally, while Barcelona also meet Atlético Madrid at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium on April 4, 2026.
- Barcelona have made winning the Champions League their top objective in 2025-26 after last season's semifinal loss to Inter Milan, and Yamal's form helps lead LaLiga by four points though a Champions League trophy still eludes him.
