Lamine Yamal has become the youngest goalscorer in La Liga history thanks to his goal in Barcelona's clash with Granada.
The wide forward broke the record held by Fabrice Olinga for over a decade by tapping home in added time at the end of the first half of Barca's clash with Granada.
Rather shockingly, the goal came while Barcelona were actually 2-0 down at the Nuevo Estadio de Los Carmenes thanks to a brace from Bryan Zaragoza. The forward opened the scoring inside the first 20 seconds of the game before doubling his side's lead on the half hour mark.
Yamal's goal, while reducing the arrears in the game heading into the half-time break, also wrote the talented youngster's name in the history books.
Having already set records as the youngster player to play for Barcelona and Spain, Yamal has now also set the record for the youngest goalscorer in La Liga history, bagging his first league goal for Barca aged just 16 years and 87 days.
The wide forward jumped ahead of fellow Barcelona alumni Ansu Fati, Bojan Krkic and Gavi in doing so, becoming just the fifth 16-year-old in history to score in the Spanish top flight.
Yamal breaking the record was seen as a formality given his stunning performances since breaking into the Barca senior team. Despite his tender age, the Spain international has already started four game this season thus far, and made a game-winning goal contribution - an assist - in a recent narrow win over a well-drilled Sevilla outfit.
