Diego Armando Maradona, the Argentine genius who changed the history of soccer forever, left an indelible mark on every pitch he played on. His time at Barcelona is remembered with admiration as a chapter in a legend that inspired an entire generation. In the midst of this legacy stands Lamine Yamal, a young Barcelona player who managed to surpass the Argentine star at just 18 years old.
In the Copa del Rey quarter-final against Albacete, Lamine managed to score more goals than Maradona scored during his time at Barcelona. Yamal not only scored one of the winning goals, he also wrote a new chapter in his history, proving that if he continues at this pace he has the potential to become a club legend, and perhaps a football legend.
A fierce battle between Mbappu and Yamal goes viral, with both trying to outdo each other.
Lamine Yamal scores 39 goals for FC Barcelona
On the pitch, the figure of Lamine Yamal reappeared, appearing at the right moment to score the first goal of the night, unleashing the elation of the fans and, at only 18 years old, writing a new chapter in his short and incredible career, already breaking records and beginning to earn his place in the history of the Kühl club.
In the first half of the Copa del Rey match against Albacete, Marcus Rashford and Frenkie de Jong fought for the ball in the enemy half, and through the combined play, Lamine took advantage of the opponent’s poor clearance and won the ball back, allowing Lamine to score his 39th goal.
Lamine Yamal came from the right side with his left foot and put a shot into the top corner that the goalkeeper couldn’t do, and he fired a great shot, but it just didn’t reach the ball.
Lamine Yamal surpasses Diego Maradona’s scoring record
With his goal against Albacete, the 18-year-old striker reached 39 goals in 135 games in a Barcelona shirt, surpassing Diego Armando Maradona’s 38 goals for the Blaugrana club.
It is very important to point out and mention that the Argentine world champion achieved 38 goals in just 58 matches, playing much fewer matches than the young Spanish soccer star.
Barcelona’s upcoming matches
Barcelona vs RCD Mallorca – Saturday 7th February – La Liga Girona vs Barcelona – Monday 16th February – La Liga Barcelona vs Levante – Sunday 22nd February – La Liga
Barcelona and Lamine Yamal are aiming to maintain their top spot and will be hoping that Real Madrid’s comeback will move them further away from their current second place.
