The data provided by Opta indicate that the gifted young player Lamine Yamal established yet another record in the Champions League.

It appears that Barcelona will continue their string of inconsistent performances. On the final day of their Champions League group stage campaign, they were defeated by Royal Antwerp by a score of 2-3. Despite the fact that they have secured the right to remain at the top of Group H, the pressure that is being put on coach Xavi Hernandez will rise as a result of this result.

Nevertheless, there was still a solitary bright point in the defeat of the Catalan giant, and that was the performance of the young lad, Lamine Yamal, who happens to be 16 years old.

Yamal began his international career at Antwerp, where he displayed a great deal of potential on the right flank with Hector Fort, a player who had just made his debut for Barcelona. His creation of Ferran Torres, who scored the equalizer for the away team, brought the score to 1-1. It has been reported by Opta that Yamal holds the record for being the youngest player to ever record an assist in the Champions League. 

When Bojan Krkic, a former top player for Barcelona, held this record in November 2007, it was previously held by him. This year, Yamal has established a number of new records. As a result of Barcelona’s 4-3 victory over Villarreal, he earned the distinction of becoming the youngest player to ever provide an assist in a La Liga match in the 21st century.
