When Lamine Yamal stepped out in Barcelona’s colours for the first time on April 29, 2023, no one could’ve foreseen then what an impact a 15 year and 290 day old teenager would make on such a storied football institution.
Here we are just over two years after that day - when he took Ansu Fati’s record as the youngest Barcelona debutant - and it’s no exaggeration to say that he is the Catalan club’s main man.
The youngest to start a match in La Liga at 16 years and 38 days old, Lamine can also lay claim to being the youngest to score and assist in the Spanish top-flight too, not to mention being the youngest-ever winner of the league title.
