## Article

Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal surpassed Kylian Mbappé to become the highest-scoring teenager in UEFA Champions League history after finding the net in his side's 3-0 victory over Aston Villa on Tuesday night.

## Why it matters

The 19-year-old winger capitalised on a defensive error to open the scoring in the seventh minute at Spotify Camp Nou, curling the ball past goalkeeper Zion Suzuki to register his 14th goal in the competition.

Raphinha further strengthened Barcelona's advantage with a second-half brace as the La Liga champions cruised to victory, handing Aston Villa their first defeat of the Champions League league phase and provisionally moving up to second in the standings.

Yamal's strike took him past Mbappé, who had previously held the record with 13 Champions League goals as a teenager. The Real Madrid forward, who now has 72 goals in the competition, remains among the tournament's most prolific scorers.

## What happens next

The UEFA Champions League is an annual club football competition organised by the Union of European Football Associations that is contested by top-division European clubs. The competition begins with a round robin league phase to qualify for the two-legged knockout rounds and the single-leg final. It is the most-watched club competition in the world and one of the most prestigious football tournaments in the world.

## By the numbers

Yamal reached the milestone in just 37 appearances, continuing to rewrite Champions League records. He remains the youngest player to start a match in the competition's main stage, having made his full European debut against Porto at the age of 16 years and 83 days.

The Spain international also holds the records for being the youngest player to score and provide an assist in a Champions League match, as well as the youngest player to score in a semi-final.

In addition, Yamal holds the records for the most Champions League goals scored before turning 18 (five) and before turning 19 (11).

However, he no longer holds the record as the youngest player to feature in the Champions League knockout stages, having been surpassed by Max Dowman earlier this year.

The milestone comes amid an outstanding start to the season for Yamal, who finished third in the Ballon d'Or rankings last week behind Harry Kane and Mbappé.

In 15 appearances across all competitions this season, the Barcelona forward has scored 13 goals and provided 11 assists, underlining his growing importance in Hansi Flick's side.
