The landmark arrived during Barcelona’s 3–1 victory over Sevilla, a match that required the Catalan side to recover from an early deficit before securing all three points and preserving their perfect start to the league campaign.

Lamine increased his tally to 51 assists across 159 official appearances for Barcelona’s first team, surpassing the 50-assist milestone at just 19 years and 68 days old.

The previous record was held by Vinícius Júnior, who recorded his 50th assist for Real Madrid in May 2023 at the age of 22 years and 298 days.

Lamine reached the milestone 3 years and 230 days younger than Vinícius, adding another individual achievement to his growing résumé before turning 20.

The Spanish international set up two goals for teammate Raphinha against Sevilla, with the Brazilian winger netting a complete hat-trick after the hosts had opened the scoring through Youssouf Fofana.

Lamine came close to scoring himself as early as the 8th minute, unleasing a curling effort that forced a save from goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos before striking the post.

The La Masia graduate’s underlying statistics highlight an extraordinary creative output—averaging nearly one assist every three matches—underscoring his status as one of Barcelona’s primary attacking focal points.
