"The 18-year-old sensation's strike was his tenth in the Champions League, which now makes him the youngest player ever to reach that landmark in Europe's premier competition. It also puts him on level with Real Madrid megastar Kylian Mbappe, who, until today, held the record for most Champions League goals scored before turning 19 years old."
"Time and again, Lamine has stepped up for Barcelona in key moments, doing so again today. What makes it even more impressive is that minutes before his goal, the La Masia gem had missed a clear-cut chance. But he did not let it affect his confidence and tucked away a brilliant penalty past Aaron Ramsdale."
Barcelona and Newcastle United played an electrifying first half in their Champions League Round-of-16 second leg at Spotify Camp Nou, producing five goals. Newcastle's Anthony Elanga scored twice to cancel out Barcelona's early goals from Raphinha and Marc Bernal within 30 minutes. Barcelona's 18-year-old Lamine Yamal converted a penalty near half-time to give Barcelona a 3-2 lead. Yamal's goal marked his tenth Champions League strike, making him the youngest player ever to reach that milestone in European football's premier competition, equaling Kylian Mbappé's record for most Champions League goals before turning 19.
