Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal surpassed Kylian Mbappé’s record for the most goals in a top five league before the age of 19.
The Spain international fired home a cracking goal from distance in the Catalans’ 3–0 victory over Mallorca on Saturday, bringing his career tally in La Liga to 24 goals. The sublime finish not only helped Barcelona remain perfect at the Camp Nou this season, but it also etched his name above Mbappé’s in the record books.
The Real Madrid phenom, who kicked off his career at Paris Saint-Germain, had scored 23 goals in Ligue 1 before he turned 19, the most by a player in Europe’s top five leagues at the time. Mbappé, now 27 years old, finally had to give his crown to Yamal, who continues to rewrite history.
Lamine Yamal has now surpassed Kylian Mbappe's record for the most goals in a top 5 league before the age of 19.
The milestone comes five months ahead of Yamal’s 19th birthday in July, which means the winger can continue racking up goals to extend his lead over Mbappé until the 2025–26 season comes to an end.
With 10 league goals through 19 appearances this season, the Spaniard has already tallied his career-best in the competition with 15 games still left to play.
