Lamine Yamal breaks La Liga record for youngest player with 50 assists

Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal has set a new La Liga record by becoming the youngest player in the league's history to reach 50 assists. At 19 years and 68 days old, Yamal surpassed the previous record held by Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior, who reached the milestone at age 22.

During Barcelona's 3-1 comeback victory against Sevilla, Yamal provided two assists, both for teammate Raphinha, who scored a hat-trick. The win maintains Barcelona's perfect start to the season, keeping them at the top of the La Liga table.

Yamal's performance comes amid intense discussion regarding individual honors, including the Ballon d'Or. While facing jeers from the Sevilla crowd, the teenager's creative output has continued to rise, averaging approximately one assist every three matches across his career.
