Lamine Yamal, 16, scores after becoming youngest Spain player ever

This kid is a bit special

Lamine Yamal has got big things ahead of him.

The 16-year-old has already set several age-related records, including in May when he became Barcelona’s youngest player in La Liga history at 15 years and 290 days old.

Now at the ripe old age of 16 years, 57 days, Yamal is setting more records on the international stage.

Yamal became Spain’s youngest ever player when he entered Friday’s Euro 2024 qualifier at Georgia just before halftime. The winger broke the record previously held by his club and international teammate Gavi, who debuted at 17 years and 62 days.

But Yamal wasn’t content with simply being on the pitch. In the 74th minute the teenager got on the end of a Nico Williams cross and slammed home a first-time strike to make it 7-1 for the visitors.

Spain would end up winning by that 7-1 scoreline, with Álvaro Morata scoring a hat-trick.

Not only did Yamal make history for Spain, he also became the youngest player to score for a European nation in 117 years — and the third-youngest ever.

“I’m happy obviously, for my debut and my goal,” Yamal told Teledeporte after the game. “It’s a dream, I’m living in a dream right now.

“I’m very happy and I have to thank my teammates and the coach for the confidence he has given me, and to everyone who has helped me on this path.”

Yamal has already started three of Barcelona’s first four games this season, becoming the youngest player to register a La Liga assist in the 21st century.

This kid is special.
