Barcelona vs. Aston Villa: Lamine Yamal breaks Kylian Mbappe scoring record in Champions League
Kylian who? Yamal breaks Mbappe Champions League scoring record

Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal has broken a Kylian Mbappe Champions League record courtesy of his opening goal against Aston Villa.

The 19-year-old phenom unsurprisingly started on the right-hand side of the Blaugrana attack at Camp Nou, and he took just seven minutes to make his mark.

However, Yamal was gifted his historic goal on this occasion, as Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki played a short ball to the under pressure Joao Gomes, who passed straight to Yamal.

The Spain international took the ball under his spell and curled in a fine strike to put La Blaugrana ahead, in turn becoming the highest-scoring teenager in Champions League history.

Yamal came into the game level with Mbappe on 13 Champions League goals before turning 20, but the Barcelona phenom has now surpassed his Real Madrid counterpart.
