Diego Armando Maradona, the Argentine genius who changed the history of soccer forever, left his indelible mark on every pitch he played on. His time at Barcelona is remembered with admiration, as a legendary chapter that inspires entire generations. In the midst of this legacy, the figure of Lamine Yamal emerges, a young Barcelona youth player who, at just 18 years of age, has managed to surpass the Argentine star.
In the Copa del Rey quarter-final against Albacete, Lamine managed to surpass the number of goals scored by Maradona during his time at Barcelona. Yamal not only scored one of the goals in the victory, but also wrote a new page in his history, proving that if he continues at this pace, he could become a club legend and perhaps a football legend.
Lamine Yamal reaches 39 goals with FC Barcelona
On the pitch, the figure of Lamine Yamal was once again present, appearing at the right moment to score the first goal of the night, unleashing the euphoria of the fans and writing a new chapter in his short and incredible career at just 18 years of age where he is already breaking records and beginning to earn a place in the history of the Cule club.
In the first half of the match against Albacete in the Copa del Rey, thanks to a team play between Marcus Rashford and Frenkie de Jong who fought for the ball in the opponent’s half, they managed to recover the ball taking advantage of the bad clearance of the opposing player so that Lamine ended up scoring his 39th goal.
Lamine Yamal from the right flank with his left foot and first time managed to place a shot into the top corner impossible for the goalkeeper who, although he launched in a spectacular way, failed to reach the ball.
Lamine Yamal surpasses Diego Maradona’s goalscoring record
With his goal against Albacete, the 18-year-old striker reached the figure of 39 goals in 135 games played in the Barcelona shirt, a figure that surpasses the 38 goals of Diego Armando Maradona with the Blaugrana club.
It is very important to point out and mention that the Argentine world champion managed his 38 goals in just 58 games, a great many fewer games than the young Spanish football star.
