Lamine Yamal Makes Barcelona History as Youngest Captain at 19

A Historic Night for Yamal

Lamine Yamal added another milestone to his career by wearing Barcelona's captain's armband at just 19 years and 58 days, becoming the youngest captain in club history.

Raphinha Hands Him the Armband

The moment came in the 71st minute when Raphinha left the pitch, allowing Yamal to take the armband in a symbolic show of trust.

Bojan's Record Broken

The previous record belonged to Bojan Krkic, who captained Barcelona in 2010 at the age of 20.

Big Win Over Feyenoord

The achievement came during Barcelona's emphatic 5-1 victory over Feyenoord.

From Talent to Leader

The story is not only about age, but also how quickly Yamal has become one of the central figures in Barcelona's sporting project.

Only a few years ago he was an academy prospect. Today he is Barcelona's youngest-ever captain.
