Lamine Yamal, the 16-year-old Barcelona sensation, has made history by breaking the Supercopa goalscoring record with a late strike against Osasuna.

Lamine Yamal made history in the Supercopa match against Osasuna on Thursday, becoming the youngest goalscorer in Supercopa history. His impressive contribution as a substitute for Barca didn’t go unnoticed, as he clinched a well-deserved goal to propel his team into the Supercopa final. Taking advantage of an angled assist from Joao Felix in the second half stoppage time, he expertly placed his shot into the bottom corner, eluding the outstretched goalkeeper.

Initially starting on the bench and coming in to replace the injured Raphinha, Yamal not only justified the manager’s decision but also made a compelling case for a starting position with his scintillating performance and his second goal for Barca. Such a remarkable display didn’t go unnoticed, with Xavi himself praising the young winger’s abilities. In a post-game interview, Xavi stated, “Lamine, with the ball, is amazing. He practically doesn’t lose the ball, and he goes into every duel. Even apart from the goal, he was very good. He’s an extraordinary talent.”

Looking ahead, it is anticipated that the teenager will continue to feature prominently, especially in the upcoming match against Madrid on Sunday, offering the Blaugrana the opportunity to defend their Supercopa title. With his standout performance on Thursday, Yamal is undoubtedly hopeful that he has done enough to secure a spot in the starting lineup for the Clasico.
