Feb. 28, 2026 will forever be remembered as the day Lamine Yamal scored his first career hat-trick, setting the record for the youngest player to achieve that milestone in La Liga since the turn of the century.
Yamal almost single-handedly engineered Barcelona’s 4–1 win vs. Villarreal on Saturday. A composed finish was followed by a stunning hit into the top corner and the teenager then tucked in his third with a precise hit just inside the far post.
