Lamine Yamal has become the new 'record holder' in the world of football. In fact, he has recently established a new record that he has managed to extend over a total of 18 games, granting him a kind of amulet role in both Barça and the national team

Calendar of FC Barcelona

It's no secret to anyone that Lamine Yamal is one of those players in the world of football recognized as 'special', those footballers 'touched by the wand' who, once on the field, when receiving the ball, generate the feeling that something great is about to happen. A sentiment that, at present, few 'cracks' are capable of evoking and few, if any, manage to do so at such a young age.

Indeed, the Rocafonda native has demonstrated that his age is not a barrier to being decisive, whether with FC Barcelona or with the Spanish national team, two teams where he has established himself as an undisputed starter and has managed to take on a leading role. In this regard, he has positioned himself as a strong asset in the offensive realm and even, almost like a talisman, at least that's what the statistics support.

The incredible record being built by Lamine Yamal

At this point, Lamine Yamal has been setting an impressive record so far. What is it? The forward, at just 17 years of age, is maintaining an impressive streak of 18 matches in which, both with Barça and with 'La Roja', they have not suffered a defeat, accumulating the notable figure of 17 wins and 1 draw.

But it's not just that, the record becomes even more interesting when you consider that, in these 18 games, in more than half of them the '19' of the Blaugrana team has contributed with a goal or an assist, in 13 matches to be precise. This equates to a direct involvement in the scoreline in 72.2% of these encounters, numerically translated into three goals and the impressive figure of 12 assists.

When did this impressive streak begin?

This streak began in the match of matchday 35 of LaLiga EA Sports 2023/24, when the Catalan team defeated Real Sociedad at Montjuïc 2-0 on May 13, 2024, a match in which Lamine, by the way, managed to score a goal. Since then, there have been another seven matches with the Barça shirt and approximately 10 with the Spanish national team, which has allowed him to maintain this impeccable record.
