Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal becomes youngest goalscorer in La Liga history after strike vs Granada
In a historic moment, Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal has become the youngest goalscorer in the history of La Liga after finding the back of the net against Granada.
The 16-year-old prodigy has been a revelation for Barça this season and has been breaking all sorts of records in the past few months.

The teenage La Masia prodigy has also become the youngest goalscorer for Barcelona, eclipsing Ansu Fati (16y 304d).
