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.
This game was his last chance to make the record for the youngest goalscorer in La Liga history to his name and the youngster did just that.
With Barcelona trailing by two goals, the young winger tapped home from point-blank range after being played in Joao Felix to make it 2-1 just before half-time.
In the process, Yamal, at the age of 16 years and 87 days, became the youngest goalscorer in La Liga history, beating the record held by Fabrice Olinga for Malaga (16y 98d).
The teenage La Masia prodigy has also become the youngest goalscorer for Barcelona, eclipsing Ansu Fati (16y 304d).
