Barcelona superstar Lamine Yamal now holds another Champions League record after the club’s 2-1 victory over Frankfurt on Tuesday night.

Yamal’s assist for Jules Kounde means he now has more goal involvements in the tournament than any other player aged 18 or younger.

The Spaniard has now beaten Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe’s record.

Barcelona had to come from behind to get the three points against Frankfurt at the Spotify Nou Camp.

Ansgar Knauff put the Bundesliga side in front before the break.

But in the second half, two goals from Kounde sealed an important victory for the Catalans, with Marcus Rashford and Yamal bagging assists.
