Only Wayne Rooney (18 years and 340 days, against Fenerbahçe in 2004) and Ismail Izmailov (19 years and 33 days, against Anderlecht in 2001) scored a direct free kick at a younger age in the competition.

Behind Lamine are Mario Balotelli (2009) and Miralem Pjanic (2009), both aged 19 and over one hundred days.

The goal came in the 78th minute and made it 4-0 at Camp Nou on matchday one of the 2026/27 Champions League league phase.
