Yamal marks a new milestone at age 18. |
Lamine Yamal continues to show his explosive form in a Barcelona shirt. His spectacular goal against Athletic Bilbao last weekend not only secured a victory for the Catalan team but also helped the 18-year-old reach a significant milestone in his career.
This goal was Yamal's 50th professional goal.
In the decisive moment of the match, with the score still 0-0, Yamal dribbled into the center and unleashed his familiar left-footed curling shot. The ball swirled and hit the crossbar before flying into the net, leaving goalkeeper Unai Simon with no chance to react.
After scoring, Yamal performed his familiar celebration by making the number 304 with his hands, referring to the postcode of the Rocafonda area, where he grew up.
Yamal's milestone of 50 goals is even more remarkable considering his age. The Barcelona striker achieved this feat at the age of 18 years and 237 days.
At the same milestone, Lionel Messi had to be 20 years and 315 days old to score 50 professional goals. Cristiano Ronaldo reached this milestone even later, at 21 years and 297 days old.
Even Kylian Mbappe needed to be 19 years and 28 days old to score his first 50 career goals.

The current season is Yamal's most explosive season yet. |
This season is Yamal's most explosive yet. Despite playing approximately 1,500 fewer minutes than last season, the 18-year-old has surpassed his own record of 18 goals. The goal against Athletic Bilbao was his 19th in all competitions this season.
In La Liga alone, Yamal has scored 14 goals.
However, to create another special milestone, Yamal still has goals ahead. The record for the most goals scored by an 18-year-old in a single La Liga season currently belongs to Raul Gonzalez.
The Real Madrid legend scored 19 goals in La Liga during the 1995/96 season when he was just 18 years old.
Barcelona still have 11 games left in La Liga this season. This means Yamal only needs 5 more goals to equal Raúl's record.
If he maintains his current form, the young Barcelona player has every chance of writing another milestone in his rapidly progressing career.
