Lamine Yamal's 100th professional appearance

He is just seventeen, and the way he plays is way beyond compare. Against Rayo Vallecano on Monday, Lamine Yamal made his 100th senior appearance, 83 for Barça and the other 17 for his country.

Just 660 days after his debut he has already amassed 18 goals and 18 assists for his club and 3 and 8 of the same for Spain. He's won La Liga and the European Championship, and he's won so many individual trophies that we've already lost count, but they've included the Golden Boy and the Kapa trophy, among the highest honours in the game.

So much has happened to this player since he came on for the last seven minutes of a game with Betis. In 2023/24 he very quickly became a regular starter for the first team, and Hansi Flick has continued to use him whenever he can on the right of an attack that is sending shockwaves throughout the world game.

And to think that this adventure is only just beginning...
