The genius moment that helped Yamal surpass Messi, Ronaldo, and make history

Barcelona had the advantage after a 1-0 win in the first leg in Portugal, so it took the La Liga leaders just 10 minutes to open the scoring in the return leg at home. Yamal contributed to the first goal and then shone with a moment of genius in the 27th minute.

Is Lamine Yamal the GREATEST talent since Leo Messi!?

The 2007-born talent dribbled from the left wing into the middle and then launched a beautiful left-footed curler, making goalkeeper Trubin’s flying shot just illustrative.

With his brilliant performance, Yamal made UEFA Champions League history by becoming the youngest player to both score and assist in a European Cup match at the age of 17 years and 241 days. This is much younger than Ronaldo or Messi at the time when these two superstars were still dominating Europe.

Not only that, the player who grew up from the La Masia training academy also equaled Julian Draxler’s record for the most appearances (6 times) in the knockout stages of the Champions League before turning 18.

At Barcelona, Yamal also surpassed Messi to become the second youngest player to score in the Champions League knockout stages. The youngest is still Bojan Kirkic, who scored against Schalke 04 in the quarter-finals in 2008 at the age of 17 years and 217 days.

In addition to a goal and an assist against Benfica, Yamal also impressed when he had 8 touches in the opponent’s penalty area, won 7 duels, succeeded in gaining possession of the ball 5 times, created 5 chances, and made 2 tackles.

A superb performance against Benfica has seen Lamine Yamal take his tally to 12 goals and 17 assists in all competitions this season.

Barcelona return to La Liga action this weekend in a crucial title race, with Hansi Flick’s side travelling to Atletico Madrid’s Metropolitano Stadium at 3am on March 17.
