FC Barcelona added its first victory in the new UEFA Champions League league phase with a resounding win at home against Young Boys (5-0). Hansi Flick's team settled the game before half-time thanks to goals from Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Iñigo Martínez. In the complement, another goal from the Pole and a goal against Ali Camara closed the scoring of a match where, once again, Lamine Yamal made history.
With his presence in the XI against the Swiss team, the '19' became the player with the most starts in the history of the Champions League under 18 years of age. The winger has already started 9 games, surpassing Jude Bellingham (with Borussia Dortmund) and Warren Zaire-Emery (with Paris Saint-Germain). Both players added 8 appearances in their teams' lineup before reaching the age of majority.
Lamine missed another record of precocity against Young Boys
However, the '19' missed another record of precocity on Tuesday in Montjuïc. The youth player had just scored Barça's only goal in the defeat against Monaco (2-1), but was unable to score in the 75 minutes he played against the Swiss team. Lamine had the chance to become the first player under the age of 18 to score in consecutive games in the competition, a record currently held by George Ilenikhena of the Principality team (18 years, 34 days, with successive goals against Barça).
The Franco-Nigerian also broke a record held by Kylian Mbappé last day by becoming Monaco's youngest scorer in the Champions League. However, Yamal still has six days to go to achieve this record. On the next date, the culés will host Bayern Munich. Then it's time to visit Red Star. Brest (home), Dortmund (away), Benfica (away) and Atalanta (home) complete the Barça calendar for the league phase.
