Barcelona’s emerging star Lamine Yamal is closing in on a significant La Liga milestone, potentially surpassing the record set by Real Madrid icon Raúl González. This latest achievement comes following his crucial contribution in Barcelona’s recent league fixture.
In their ongoing domestic campaign, Barcelona faced off against Celta Vigo. The Catalan giants are currently on track for another victory, holding a one-goal lead.
Lamine Yamal was the catalyst, converting a penalty in the first half. He appeared to sustain an injury shortly after, leaving the field for treatment.
As mentioned, Yamal’s goal also brought him closer to a historic mark. According to StatMuse, the current record for goals scored by a player aged 18 or younger in a single La Liga season stands at 19, held by Raúl. With six league matches left in the 2025/26 season, Yamal has now netted 16 goals.
