According to statistics from UEFA, Lamine Yamal is the youngest player to reach 20 appearances in the Champions League before the age of 18.
The young star born in 2007's achievements far surpass Jude Bellingham, Pau Curbasi and Warren Zaire-Emery. When they were the same age as Yamal, all three of these names only had 10 appearances in Europe's most prestigious cup tournament.
On a record-breaking day, Yamal shone, contributing to two of Barcelona's four goals. The Euro champ set up Robert Lewandowski to make it 3-0, before scoring himself to seal a 4-0 victory for the La Liga side.

Barca is too strong for Dortmund. |
Including the resounding victory over Dortmund, Barca have remained unbeaten in 23 matches since the beginning of 2025 (W19, D4). This is also the best start to a calendar year for the Catalan team, breaking a record that has existed since 2016. At that time, Lionel Messi and his teammates had won undefeated in 22 consecutive matches (W19, D3).
Not only Yamal, Lewandowski also made history as the first player to score 10 goals in a Champions League season for 3 different clubs (Dortmund, Bayern and Barcelona). With a brace against Dortmund, Lewy has scored 29 goals against his former club, more than any opponent he has faced in his career.
In addition, Pau Curbasi, Barcelona's young defender, also created a memorable milestone, becoming the youngest defender (18 years, 77 days) to have an assist in the Champions League, breaking the record set by Vincent Kompany (18 years, 193 days) in October 2004.
In this match, Raphinha also played impressively with 1 goal and 2 assists. The Brazilian star has scored 12 goals in 11 matches in the Champions League this season. At Barca alone, the former Leeds star's achievement is only behind Lionel Messi with 14 goals in the 2011/12 season.
