The Spanish football prodigy continues to renew his achievements in world football.
Barcelona broke their winning streak. The previous day, the Catalan club lost in the Champions League in Monaco with a score of 1:2.
At the same time, this match was special for one of the leaders of the “blue garnets”, Lamin Yamal. He scored the Catalans’ only goal against Monaco. For the young player, it was the first goal in the main European Cup tournament.
However, Yamal did not become the youngest goal scorer in the Champions League, which usually happens to a midfielder in other competitions. Moreover, the footballer is not even the youngest scorer of a goal in the Champions League for Barcelona.
This achievement belonged to Lamin’s partner in the Catalan team, Ansu Fati, who scored his first goal in 17 years and 40 days. Yamal turned 17 years and 68 days yesterday.

At the same time, Yamal became the player with the most Champions League appearances aged 17 or under. The game against Monaco was Lamin’s 11th Champions League match. Warren Zaire-Emery, Jude Bellingham and Youri Tielemans have 10 games each.
We remind you that Shakhtar previously played a draw against Bologna in the opening match of the Champions League.
