The Spanish Lamine Yamalstill at cadet age, became the youngest rookie in the history of Barcelona’s first team this Saturday when he played in the win against Betis at the age of 15 years, 9 months and 16 days.
His record exceeds that of Vincent Martinez, a Barça footballer from the 1940s, who made his debut at the age of 16 years, 9 months and 5 days. On the list follow Ansu Fatiwith 16 years, 9 months and 25 days; Bojan Krkic, with just 17 years; and Pablo Paez ‘Gavi’, with 17 years and 24 days.
The striker, with dorsal 41entered the pitch in minute 83, replacing Gavi precisely and with the result 4-0 against Betis with 9 players due to the expulsion of Edgar Fernandez in the first half and the injury of Joaquin Sanchez when he had already made all the substitutions.
On April 23, against Atlético de Madrid, Lamine Yamal had already become the youngest player in the history of Barcelona to be called up with the first team. The footballer from Mataró repeated the call-up last day against Rayo Vallecano.
