Lamine Yamal may only be 17 but he already has a host of incredible records in his collection at Barcelona.
He added another on Wednesday night when he scored a brilliant goal against Inter. The strike also means he’s smashed a Champions League record previously held by Kylian Mbappe.
Yamal is now the youngest player to score in a Champions League semi-final at the age of 17 years and 291 days. Mbappe had held the record after scoring back in 2017 at the age of 18 years and 140 days.

Yamal’s goal came on his 100th appearance for Barcelona and a little over two years since he made his first-team debut for the Catalan giants.
Barca’s wonderkid had spoken before the game about his excitement at playing in a Champions League semi-final.
“I’m really excited, it’s my first semi-final, and for many others in the team too,” he said. “I’ve not had any fear, but I have motivation ahead of the game.
“I think the butterflies in your stomach are good, all of us players have them. But fear, I left fear in the park in Mataro (Yamal’s hometown) a long time ago.”
