\"Yamal<\/p>\n

Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal has surpassed Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 to become the highest-scoring teenager in UEFA Champions League history.<\/p>\n

\n

The 19-year-old set the new record after scoring in Barcelona\u2019s 3-0 victory over Aston Villa on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n

Yamal capitalised on a defensive error by Villa in the seventh minute at Spotify Camp Nou, curling the ball beyond goalkeeper Zion Suzuki to register his 14th Champions League goal.<\/p>\n

\n

The goal moved him past Mbapp\u00e9, who previously held the teenage scoring record with 13 goals in the competition.<\/p>\n

\n

Although the France international has scored 72 Champions League goals overall, Yamal has now claimed the record after just 37 appearances in Europe\u2019s premier club competition.<\/p>\n

\n

The Spain international has also established several other milestones in the tournament, including becoming the youngest player to start a Champions League match proper.<\/p>\n

\n

Yamal achieved that feat at the age of 16 years and 83 days when he made his full European debut against FC Porto.<\/p>\n

\n

His latest achievement comes after an impressive showing at the 2026 Ballon d\u2019Or awards, where he finished third behind Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane and Mbapp\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\n

The Barcelona youngster has also enjoyed a productive start to the new season, recording 13 goals and 11 assists in 15 appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n
