Young Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal is edging closer to a significant La Liga milestone, potentially surpassing the record held by Real Madrid icon Raúl González.
His recent performance in Barcelona’s domestic match has brought him within striking distance of this historic achievement.
Under the management of Hansi Flick, Barcelona was engaged in a league fixture against Celta Vigo.
At present, Barcelona appears to be on track for another victory, holding a one-goal advantage over Celta Vigo.
The aforementioned Lamine Yamal was the scorer, converting a penalty late in the first half. Shortly after, he was seen limping off the field, indicating a possible injury concern.
As mentioned, in scoring that goal, the Spanish international has continued his pursuit of football history.
According to StatMuse, the current record for goals scored by a player aged 18 or younger in a single La Liga season is 19, a record set by Raúl.
With six league matches still to be played in the 2025/26 campaign, Lamine Yamal has now reached the 16-goal mark.
