Yamal overtakes Mbappé in Champions League scoring record

Lamine Yamal has moved past Kylian Mbappé to become the top scorer in Champions League history before the age of 20.

Yamal reaches 14 Champions League goals

The Barcelona forward scored in his side's 3-0 win over Aston Villa, taking his total in the competition to 14. Mbappé had scored 13 before turning 20.

Raphinha scored Barcelona's other two goals in the match.

A new mark for the Barcelona forward

Yamal's latest goal adds to a run of record-breaking in Europe's top club competition. He has quickly become one of Barcelona's most important players, with this latest milestone putting him alone at the top of the under-20 scoring list.

The Spaniard has done it through direct running, close control and an ability to affect big matches. Barcelona will now hope he can add to that tally in the seasons ahead as he continues to play in Europe for the club.
