Yamal breaks the under-20 Champions League scoring record.

A week earlier, Lamine Yamal had drawn level with Kylian Mbappé at 13 Champions League goals scored before turning 20, after scoring against Paris Saint-Germain. Against Aston Villa, he moved ahead eight minutes into the match: Yamal capitalized on a misplaced João Gomes pass inside the box to score Barcelona’s opening goal. That was his 14th, putting him clear of Mbappé’s 13. A Mister Chip statistic cited by Kooora put Yamal at 19 years and 113 days. Barcelona went on to win 3-0.
