Lamine Yamal carved his name into El Clasico history last night, becoming the youngest-ever goalscorer in this fierce rivalry.
17-Year-Old Lamine Yamal Becomes Youngest Goalscorer in El Clasico History
The 17-year-old Barcelona star found the back of the net in the 77th minute, delivering Barcelona‘s third goal in their emphatic 4-0 win over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
His goal did more than just secure victory; it broke a record that had stood untouched for 77 years.
With calm and precision beyond his years, Yamal’s strike brought fans to their feet and sealed a historic night for the young talent.
Displaying the iconic “Calma” celebration, Yamal faced the crowd with a confident smile, embodying the resilience and joy that defines Barcelona’s emerging stars.
The goal not only underscored his poise but also added another highlight to a season that has many tipping him for the Kepa Trophy, awarded to the best U-21 player, at the upcoming Ballon d’Or gala.
Yamal shattered the previous record held by Alfonso Navarro, who set it back in 1947 at 17 years and 306 days old.
Now, Yamal holds that distinction at just 17 years and 106 days, a testament to his rapid rise and undeniable skill.
His celebration, complete with his Barca-colored braces flashing in the stadium lights, was a fitting exclamation mark on a night of history.
Lamine Yamal is more than just a record-breaker; he’s a rising star whose performance in El Clasico promises a bright future, not just for himself but for the next era of Barcelona football.
