Barcelona's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal has achieved a remarkable milestone by equaling Cristiano Ronaldo's La Liga title record at just 17 years of age, following Barcelona's 2-0 victory over city rivals Espanyol on Thursday evening.

The young Spanish international played a crucial role in securing Barcelona's 28th league title, contributing a goal and an assist in the match that completed a historic domestic treble for Hansi Flick's side this season.

This achievement marks Yamal's second La Liga title with Barcelona, matching the number Ronaldo won during his entire nine-year stint at Real Madrid. The Portuguese superstar lost out on the league title six times to Barcelona and once to Atletico Madrid during his time in Spain.

Yamal has made history as the first player ever to win two La Liga titles before turning 18, further cementing his status as one of football's most promising talents. His exceptional performances throughout the season have also placed him among the leading contenders for this year's prestigious Ballon d'Or award.

Despite Barcelona's semifinal exit from the UEFA Champions League, which ended Yamal's hopes of adding a European title to his collection this season, the youngster's trophy cabinet is already impressive. It includes two La Liga titles, a European Championship trophy, Spanish Super Cup, Copa Del Rey, as well as individual honors such as the Best Young Player award at EURO 2024 and the Kopa Trophy 2024.

Under Hansi Flick's leadership, Barcelona has achieved a domestic treble this season, marking their ninth 'Domestic Double' in the club's illustrious history. Following the title-clinching victory, Yamal expressed his gratitude to the Barcelona fans and acknowledged former manager Xavi's contribution to his development.

As Yamal continues to break records and collect accolades at such a young age, football enthusiasts worldwide are witnessing the rise of a potential generational talent who could dominate the sport for years to come.
