Lamine Yamal shocked the football world when he continuously broke Lionel Messi’s records at Barcelona at a very young age.

Yamal – 17 years old has quickly become the center of attention at Camp Nou with his impressive performances. Most recently, in the match between Barcelona and Real Valladolid in La Liga, this young player had a memorable night when contributing two important assists, contributing to the home team’s 7-0 victory .

It is worth noting that with these two assists, Yamal has reached 10 assists in La Liga and 20 assists in all competitions. This is even more impressive considering he is only 17 years and 49 days old.

Compared to Lionel Messi, the Argentine legend had to wait until he was 20 years and 245 days to reach 10 assists in La Liga, and 21 years and 120 days to reach 20 assists in all competitions. Thus, Yamal has surpassed Messi by nearly three years in this achievement.

Yamal contributed 2 assists in Barca’s 7-goal win last night.

Not only that, Yamal also participated in 15 goals in 42 domestic matches in Spain, with six goals and nine assists. This is considered the best number of goal contributions by a player under the age of 18 in the 21st century, surpassing the achievement of Bojan Krkić – a player who was expected to inherit Messi at Barcelona.

In La Liga alone in the 2023/24 season, after 4 appearances, Yamal has contributed to 5 goals (1 goal, 4 assists). This achievement has contributed significantly to helping Barcelona firmly stay at the top of the table with a record of winning all 4 matches, scoring 13 goals and conceding only 3 times.

Yamal reminds people of Messi during his time at Camp Nou.

In the match against Valladolid, Yamal not only impressed with his statistics but also with his creative and technical style of play. He recreated Messi’s “magic” by making precise long passes, cutting through the opposition’s midfield and defense.

One of the most impressive moments was when Yamal set up Robert Lewandowski for a goal with a long pass from midfield, bypassing the entire Valladolid midfield and defense.

Not stopping there, Yamal also showed off his skillful dribbling ability when he dribbled the ball from his home field to the opponent’s penalty area before assisting Raphinha to score, similar to Messi’s classic playing style during his peak days at Camp Nou.

Barca prodigy creates impressive statistics at the age of 17.

Yamal’s arrival has brought a breath of fresh air to Barcelona, ​​especially in the context of the club facing many financial and personnel difficulties. This young talent not only helps Barca save a significant amount of money in buying players but also brings hope for the future of the Catalan team.

The fact that Yamal has surpassed Messi’s achievements at such a young age is a testament to his extraordinary talent, and with what he has shown, Lamine Yamal is clearly on the fast track to becoming one of the best players in the world in the future.
