Lamine Yamal sets Champions League teenage record for goal involvements

sportsSep 9, 202614418

Lamine Yamal reached 21 UEFA Champions League goal involvements, registering 11 goals and 10 assists, the most ever by a teenager and one more than Kylian Mbappé's previous mark of 20. He added a brilliant free kick and an assist for Gabriel Jesus in Barcelona's 5-1 win over Feyenoord as Hansi Flick's side opened their Champions League campaign. The performance came in the same week Ballon d'Or nominations were released, with the New York Times calling Yamal one of the main contenders for the award. Raphinha scored twice in the match and was named player of the match, while Karim Adeyemi also scored earlier to put Barcelona 2-0 up. Yamal's 21st involvement sets a new benchmark for teenage productivity in Europe's club competition and replaces Mbappé at the top of that specific all-time list.

26 shots yada yada. Meanwhile 12 teams played in the Champions League today. Only one clean sheet ;)

Was it from a set piece? Was it the dark arts?? Was it Mikel being ignoring on the touchline??? 🤷‍♂️

Even PSG conceded at home to a team I've never heard of (no disrespect intended of course) but look at the reaction of their No.6 when Slovan B scored...

And only one away win

This is an easily missed point. We were absolutely electric going forward and should've scored 4-5. But we also locked it down. As usual. Five games, one goal conceded.

You're on the wrong side of football history if you don't rate Lamine Yamal. What a player.

My first Champions League Game at Anfield 😁what a night what an experience! What an atmosphere. Macca mate. The best thing we might have ever done was not give you that contract last year. Let it spur you on like it did with Salah. Hopefully Barcola isn’t injured. Always a tight game with Atletico.

21 - Lamine Yamal now has 21 goal involvement in the UEFA Champions League (11 goals, 10 assists); the outright most by a teenager in the competition's history, overtaking Kylian Mbappé's 20. Prodigious.

Despite a fifth career goal at Anfield for Marcos Llorente, Liverpool find a way to beat Atlético in the Champions League yet again. Good news for Andoni Iraola, who was managing his first game in the competition.
