Lamine Yamal breaks another LaLiga record with 51 assists

Lamine Yamal starred as FC Barcelona beat Sevilla 1-3, adding another LaLiga milestone along the way, according to Mundo Deportivo. The winger couldn’t keep his scoring streak going at the Sánchez Pizjuán, but he was decisive anyway with two assists for Raphinha.

Two assists, one record

Those two chances took him to 51 assists in 159 LaLiga matches. At just 19 years and 68 days, Yamal became the youngest player in competition history to reach the 50-assist mark. Mundo Deportivo also notes that he overtook Vinícius in this record for precocity.

The Opta comparison

The outlet explains that Opta highlighted the comparison: the Real Madrid forward did not reach 50 LaLiga assists until he was 22 years and 298 days old—around three and a half years older than the Barça man.

A constant threat

Beyond the stat itself, the article stresses Yamal’s overall influence. He kept Sevilla’s defence uncomfortable, won key duels, and even earned praise after a direct battle with captain Suazo, who, as Mundo Deportivo reports, described him after the match as “one of the best in the world.”

With the campaign underway, Yamal keeps stacking numbers and headlines while Barça moves forward in LaLiga.
