At the age of 16 years, 87 days, Yamal surpassed Malaga player Fabrice Olinga, who was 16 years, 98 days old when he scored against Celta Vigo in 2012.
Yamal scored his milestone goal by pushing a loose ball into the open net in first-half stoppage time.

He was already the youngest player to debut in the league, and the youngest to start in the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/champions-league-mbappe-strikes-as-psg-beat-dortmund-2-0-23310124" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Champions League</a>. Yamal also has the record for youngest to play for Barcelona from last season. He became the youngest scorer in a European Championship qualifier after coming on last month as the youngest player to appear for Spain. &ldquo;When we see that a player can help the team, we give him the opportunity,&rdquo; Barcelona coach Xavi said. &ldquo;Lamine is helping us a lot and making a difference. He scored an important goal.&rdquo;
Yamal&rsquo;s goal helped Barcelona pull closer after Bryan Zaragoza put the hosts 2-0 ahead with a couple of goals in the first half-hour, including one less than 20 seconds into the match at Los Carmenes Stadium.&nbsp;
