Two effective actions of the 17-year-old Spaniard helped the “Blaugrans” to win the second victory over the “eagles”, knocking them out of the European Cup.

According to the UEFA official website, Yamal has set a new record of the tournament. At the age of 17 and 241, he became the youngest player with goal and assistant in the Champions League match.

Earlier, the record holder was the current Central Spreadard of Monaco Brel Embolo, who, speaking beyond Basel (against Ludogorets, 4: 0, 04.11.2014) was distinguished by two such effective actions at the age of 17 and 263 days. It should also be noted that at the third stage of this rating with an indicator of 17 years and 355 days there is a left winger of Barcelona Ansh Fati (against Ferencvaros, 5: 1, 20.10.2020).

Recall that in the quarterfinals of the playoffs of the updated Champions League, Hans Flik’s team will resist the winner of the pair of Borussia Dortmund-Lill (the first match-1: 1).
