Barcelona's starboy strikes! Lamine Yamal becomes the youngest goalscorer in La Liga history

  • Scored first goal at 16 years and 87 days
  • Fired home to halve Granada lead
  • Took record from Malaga's Fabrice Olinga

WHAT HAPPENED? Yamal ghosted into the box and finished into an empty net to secure the record breaking strike. At 16 years and 87 days, he beat the previous mark by less than two weeks.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The La Masia product continued a record-breaking campaign. This season, he became both the youngest starter for Spain and Barcelona and the youngest player ever to start a Champions League game.
