(MENAFN- AzerNews) Lamine Yamal has become the first player in history to reach 100 goal contributions at the age of 18, AzerNEWS reports, citing OneFootball.

The milestone was achieved following FC Barcelona's 4–1 victory over Villarreal CF in the 26th round of the Spanish league.

After the match, the 18-year-old winger's tally stands at 49 goals and 52 assists, bringing his total goal contributions to 101.
