Lamine Yamal records for Barcelona and Spain
After Lamine Yamal became the youngest Champions League semi-final scorer last Wednesday, a look at all of his records for Barcelona and Spain...

Lamine Yamal cannot stop breaking records. Barcelona's brilliant forward netted a superb strike against Inter last Wednesday which saw him become the youngest scorer in a Champions League semi-final.
The 17-year-old won the ball back on the right side, turned and ran into the area and somehow found space to squeeze a left-footed finish in off the post.
Yamal's goal kickstarted a comeback for Barça after Hansi Flick's side had gone 2-0 down at Montjuïc and the youngster was a constant threat in the 3-3 draw as he made his 100th appearance for the Catalan club.
Here, a look at all of the records broken by the teenager in a short career which is already earning him comparisons with some of football's all-time greats...
