Lamine Jamal, the young Barcelona star, continues to shine on a personal level with better individual statistics than those achieved by the Argentine star Lionel Messi, player for Inter Miami, and Kylian Mbappe, striker for Real Madrid.
Last Saturday, Lamine shook the net of Real Mallorca (2-0) in the match held at Camp Nou during the 23rd round of the Spanish League, which ended with a 3-0 victory for the Blaugrana.
Lamine Jamal outperforms Messi and Mbappe
This match is the fifth in a row in which Lamine has scored in all competitions (against Real Oviedo, Copenhagen, Elche, Albacete, and Mallorca), and he did so at the age of 18.
The Spanish newspaper "As" stated that Lamine Jamal outshined Messi, who has achieved this more than once, but he did not achieve his first series of scoring in 5 consecutive matches until he was 20 years old.
Messi scored his first five in the period from September 19, 2007, to October 2, 2007, when he hit the net against teams such as Olympique Lyon, Sevilla, Real Zaragoza, Levante, and Stuttgart.
Lamine Jamal's goal against Mallorca was his 24th with Barcelona in the Spanish League since his first appearance with the team against Real Betis in April 2023.
Lamine surpasses Mbappe
This tally is the best for any player before the age of 19 in the top five European leagues in the 21st century, according to the same newspaper.
It pointed out that the previous record was held by Mbappe until last Saturday, who had scored 23 goals before his 19th birthday.
Lamine Jamal has the opportunity to enhance this number until the end of the current season in 2025-2026, specifically on July 13, 2027, when he will celebrate his 19th birthday.

During the current season, Lamine Jamal has played in 19 matches in the Spanish League, totaling 1599 minutes, which accounts for 77% of the total possible minutes with the team, a significant number considering periods of absence due to groin pain.
Overall, Lamine has played 30 matches in all competitions, totaling 2491 minutes, during which he scored 15 goals and provided 13 crucial assists, according to data from the famous website "Transfermarkt."
