Barcelona’s teenage star, Lamine Yamal, is making waves not just for his goals but also for his playmaking abilities. After his stellar performance in the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid, where he registered two assists, Yamal is now just three assists away from breaking Lionel Messi’s all-time single-season assist record for Barcelona.

Lamine Yamal’s Impressive Assist Tally

This season, Yamal has tallied an impressive 24 assists across all competitions, helping his team to numerous victories, including his recent assist efforts in the Copa del Rey. His assists in the final, which set up goals for Pedri and Ferran Torres, have brought him closer to Messi’s record of 27 assists in a single season.

Messi’s Record in Sight

Lionel Messi currently holds the record for the most assists in a single season by a Barcelona player, with 27 assists set during the 2011/12 campaign. With Yamal just three assists away, it’s clear the young winger has a real chance of surpassing one of the club’s greatest legends before the season ends.

Given his continued growth and Barcelona’s ongoing pursuit of trophies, Yamal could not only break this historic record but also cement his place as one of the future stars of the club for years to come.
