Lamine Yamal Surpasses Mbappe’s Champions League Record
Lamine Yamal reached 23 Champions League goal contributions before turning 20 after Barcelona's 5-1 win over Feyenoord. Citing Opta, VnExpress reports that his goal and two assists on September 9 took him past Kylian Mbappe's mark of 20.
The assist for Raphinha's opener moved Yamal to 21 contributions. His free-kick goal and later delivery for Gabriel Jesus raised the total to 23.
The combined goals-and-assists record is distinct from scoring alone. The article lists Yamal on 12 Champions League goals as a teenager, still behind Mbappe's 13 in that category.
Coach Hansi Flick praised Yamal and backed him as a Ballon d'Or contender. That remains the coach's assessment, while the Feyenoord performance helped Barcelona begin their European campaign with three points.
