Lamine Yamal scored his first Champions League for Barcelona in their clash against Monaco on Thursday (September 19).

The youngster showcased his fantastic finishing skill with a sharp goal against Monaco. Yamal showcased his skill by staying onside to receive a long ball before using his physicality to create space from Vanderson and advance towards the goal. His subsequent left-footed strike that found the net was a display of both precision and poise. Although Barcelona lost the match 2-1, Yamal's night was a special one with a milestone strike.

Yamal's goal not only levelled the score for Barcelona but also marked his first in the Champions League, an impressive feat for the young winger.

Yamal has now netted four times in six appearances for Barcelona this season, demonstrating a knack for scoring at his young age. The youngster has also assisted 4 times so far this season.
