Lamine Yamal breaks Kylian Mbappe’s record with sensational solo goal in Barcelona’s Champions League semi-final clash against Inter.
Lamine Yamal Becomes Youngest Ever Scorer in Champions League Semi-Final, Surpassing Kylian Mbappé
Lamine Yamal etched his name into Champions League history by becoming the youngest player ever to score in a semi-final, surpassing Kylian Mbappé’s record. The 17-year-old, aged just 17 years and 291 days, delivered a breathtaking solo goal against Inter Milan to ignite a dramatic comeback for Barcelona.
Trailing 2-0, Yamal weaved through the Inter defense to score a brilliant goal that sparked a resurgence, with the match ultimately ending in a thrilling 3-3 draw—a modern Champions League classic. Mbappé had set the previous record in 2017, scoring at 18 years and 140 days during Monaco’s 2-1 defeat to Juventus.
Yamal has been in outstanding form this Champions League season, scoring four goals and registering four assists in 11 appearances. Remarkably, he has found the net in every stage of the tournament so far.
Barcelona, currently leading La Liga by four points over Real Madrid, face Valladolid this weekend. They will then meet Inter for the decisive second leg next Tuesday, before a highly anticipated Clásico showdown against Real Madrid.
