Lamine Yamal breaks a Kylian Mbappe Champions League record

Lamine Yamal Breaks Kylian Mbappé’s Champions League Record in Barcelona’s 2–1 Victory

Barcelona’s teenage prodigy Lamine Yamal continues to carve his name into football history after breaking yet another UEFA Champions League record this time surpassing a milestone previously held by Kylian Mbappé.

During Barcelona’s hard-fought 2–1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday night, the 17-year-old registered a decisive assist for Jules Kounde, further cementing his reputation as one of Europe’s brightest talents. The assist not only helped secure three crucial points but also pushed Yamal to the top of the all-time list for most Champions League goal involvements by a player aged 18 or under.

The record was formerly held by Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé, who amassed ten goals and three assists as a teenager. Yamal has now surpassed that with an impressive 14 goal involvements seven goals and seven assists all for Barcelona.

The night was far from straightforward for the Catalans. Despite Robert Lewandowski seeing an early effort disallowed, Eintracht Frankfurt struck first through Ansgar Knauff in the 21st minute. Barcelona regrouped and responded after the break, with Jules Kounde scoring twice to flip the scoreline. His goals were supplied by Marcus Rashford and the record-breaking Yamal, whose decisive contribution set Camp Nou alight.

Yamal’s latest achievement adds to a rapidly growing list of milestones, reinforcing his status as both Barcelona’s present and future. With every game, the teenager continues to prove that he is not just living up to the hype he is rewriting it.
