Lamine Yamal takes Mbappé's Champions League under-20 scoring record as Barça beat Villa 3-0

Lamine Yamal became the Champions League's top scorer before the age of 20 as Barcelona beat Aston Villa 3-0, taking the mark from Kylian Mbappé. The record comes soon after Mbappé's double decided the Clásico, and the win lifts Barça to second in the league phase.

Lamine Yamal has taken a Champions League scoring record from Kylian Mbappé. He opened the scoring in Barcelona's win over Aston Villa at Spotify Camp Nou on 3 November.

A Villa mistake in the seventh minute gave him the chance. Yamal curled the ball past goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.

That goal was his 14th in the competition. No player has scored more before turning 20.

Mbappé had managed 13 at that age. The Real Madrid forward now has 72 Champions League goals in total.

The timing gives the record an edge. Mbappé scored in the 41st and 87th minutes as Real Madrid won the season's first Clásico 2-1 at Spotify Camp Nou on 25 October.

Raphinha's 61st-minute goal was Barcelona's only reply that night. Yamal still has until July to extend the mark Yamal needed 37 Champions League appearances to reach his total.

He does not turn 20 until next July. The record could therefore grow further this season.

The two forwards had been level at an earlier stage, each with 10 Champions League goals before their 19th birthdays, according to FC Barcelona. Raphinha did the rest against Villa.
