Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has added yet another record to his ever growing collection after scoring twice and bagging an assist for Spain against Croatia in the Nations League on Tuesday night.
The teenager opened the scoring in the second minute, teed up Marc Pubill for Spain’s second and them made it 3-1 just after the hour for the world champions.
Yamal’s exploits mean he has become the youngest player to ever score two goals and bag an assist in the same game for Spain.
The Barcelona star has achieved the feat at the grand old age of 19 years and 78 days, beating the record previously held by Raul and Exteberria (21 years and 273 days), according to MisterChip.

Yamal now has 18 goals and assists in all competitions this season for club and country in just 10 games in what has been an impressive start to the season by the Barcelona superstar.
The teenager also was given a breather by Luis de la Fuente in a gesture that will be appreciated by Barca. He was taken off on the 68th minute after yet another standout showing for the world champions.
