x/lamine-yamal
— 6d
Lamine Yamal continued his breakout run with another brace against Levante, taking his six-match goal tally to six and matching a historic Messi-level feat by becoming the second player in the 21st century to notch three braces in Barcelona’s first five La Liga matches. The young forward’s influence is mirrored by his ongoing Champions League contributions and his record-breaking rise culminates in him also becoming Barcelona’s youngest captain as discussions around his leadership role intensify.

Yamal is only 17 and already tearing La Liga apart, scary how good he's getting week by week.
