History maker! Yamal breaks UCL record in Barcelona's win over Frankfurt

Lamine Yamal continues to break records, and he left another one in the dust on Tuesday night.

During a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, the teenager provided a crucial assist, taking his total goal involvements in the competition to a new high for a player aged 18 or under, eclipsing the previous record held by Kylian Mbappe.

Hansi Flick's Barcelona side had to dig deep to secure three points at Camp Nou. The visitors, Eintracht Frankfurt, took a surprise lead through Ansgar Knauff.

However, the Catalan club mounted a second-half comeback, with two goals from defender Jules Koundé sealing the victory. Marcus Rashford and Lamine Yamal were credited with the assists for the goals.

Yamal's setup for Koundé's winning goal was his 14th direct goal contribution in the Champions League, comprising seven goals and seven assists.

This remarkable tally moves him past Kylian Mbappé, who had registered 13 goal involvements (ten goals, three assists) before turning 19. With his 19th birthday not until next July, Yamal has ample opportunity to extend his record further in the competition.
