Lamine Yamal and Barcelona
12 September 2026
Lamine Yamal has become the first player to record more than 20 Champions League goal contributions before turning 20. At 19 years and two months, the Barcelona star also became the youngest player in club history to wear the captain’s armband.
Yamal wore the armband against Feyenoord despite sitting outside Barcelona’s four formal captains, reflecting his unusually long first-team tenure for his age. He has also produced five goals and two assists over the past nine days during Barcelona’s flying start.
