Lamine Yamal scores free kick for Barcelona in Champions League win

Summary

Lamine Yamal recorded his first career direct free-kick goal during Barcelona’s 4-0 win against Feyenoord on Tuesday. The goal arrived in the 78th minute of the opening matchday of the 2026/27 Champions League league phase at Camp Nou. Statistical tracking confirmed the 19-year-old is now the third-youngest player to convert a direct free kick in the history of the competition. He sits behind only Wayne Rooney, who achieved the feat at age 18 in 2004, and Ismail Izmailov, who scored at age 19 in 2001. The performance continues a string of milestones for the winger as he develops within the Barcelona squad. This result marks a successful start to the European campaign for the Spanish club.
