Lamine Yamal placed his name alongside Kylian Mbappé’s in the Champions League history books on Tuesday night after netting in Barcelona’s 4–2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
What ultimately proved a disappointing end to Barcelona’s unbeaten start to the season still had positives on a personal level for Yamal. The 19-year-old Ballon d’Or nominee produced another superb solo strike in the second half of the Champions League showdown, putting on the after-burners to power past makeshift left back Warren Zaïre-Emery before finishing past Matvey Safonov from an improbable angle.
