"Barcelona's young forward, Lamine Yamal, is on the verge of another historic milestone in the UEFA Champions League. According to Mundo Deportivo, if he takes the field today, he will make his 25th appearance in Europe's top competition, becoming the youngest player ever to reach this mark at just 18 years and 100 days, surpassing Zaire Emery, who held the record at 19 years and 32 days."
"Then, at 17 years and 270 days, he reached 20 games in the competition, which is a feat no player had achieved at such a young age. Now, with his 25th appearance imminent, Yamal is stepping into a new phase of his career. He no longer needs to prove his place in the Champions League. Instead, he is ready to lead Barcelona in decisive moments, from quarterfinals to semifinals, and potentially to the final itself."
Lamine Yamal stands poised to become the youngest player to reach 25 UEFA Champions League appearances at 18 years and 100 days, surpassing Zaire Emery. In 24 appearances he has contributed five goals and six assists while helping Barcelona to 14 wins, three draws and seven defeats. Yamal has produced standout performances against elite opponents such as Bayern Munich, Benfica, Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan. He set multiple age-related milestones: youngest starter at 16 years and 83 days, youngest knockout participant at 16 years and 223 days, quarterfinal appearance at 16 years and 272 days and 20 matches before turning 17.
