Lamine Yamal Eyes Kylian Mbappé's Under-20 Champions League Goal Record in Istanbul
Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal needs just one goal against Galatasaray to match Kylian Mbappé's record for most UEFA Champions League goals scored before turning 20.
Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal is on the verge of making UEFA Champions League history as his side prepares to face Galatasaray in Istanbul on Tuesday, October 13, 2026. At just 19 years old, Yamal sits one goal away from equalling Kylian Mbappé's record of 13 goals scored in the competition before turning 20. The Spanish international currently boasts 12 goals and 11 assists in 34 Champions League appearances, having scored against Feyenoord in the opening matchday of the 2026–27 league phase.
Yamal's meteoric rise continues to draw high praise from top figures in European football. Reflecting on the young winger's recent performances and consistent impact at the highest level, Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente remarked that "Lamine never stops surprising us" as the player readies for another big European night in Turkey.
