Lamine Yamal scored the first El Clásico goal of his career, etching his name in the history books of La Liga's biggest rivalry.

At age 17 and 106 days old, Yamal became the youngest goalscorer in El Clásico history when he found the back of the net in the 77th minute against Real Madrid. Robert Lewandowski had already given Barcelona a two-goal lead before the Spaniard joined in on the scoring.

Raphinha played a perfectly timed through ball to Yamal, who sent a strong effort into the roof of the net with his weaker right foot.

Alfonso Navarro previously held the record as the youngest goalscorer in El Clásico history when he scored for Barcelona at age 17 and 356 days in 1947.
