Lamine Yamal Breaks Champions League Records at 17

Barcelona's Lamine Yamal made Champions League history by becoming the youngest player to score and assist in the same match during his team's 4-1 aggregate win over Benfica, propelling them into the quarter-finals. At 17 years and 241 days, Yamal set up Raphinha's opening goal with a dazzling assist and later scored a stunning goal himself, showcasing his exceptional talent and drawing comparisons to some of football's greatest. Despite his youth, Yamal has already contributed to 12 goals and 17 assists this season, affirming his status as a rising star. Barcelona will face either Borussia Dortmund or Lille in the next round. The teenager's performances have sparked discussions about his potential to become one of the best players in the world. His achievements include joining Julian Draxler for most Champions League knockout appearances before turning 18.
