Lamine Yamal sets another Barcelona record after incredible start to 2026/27 season

Lamine Yamal has set another record for Barcelona during their outstanding 2026/27 season, becoming the most-used player in the squad by minutes after the opening eight matches. With eight goals and six assists across all competitions, the 19-year-old has proven himself to be influential on the pitch. At just 671 minutes, Yamal has played the most minutes of all Barcelona players, leading the chart by a margin of 55 minutes over captain Raphinha, who has played 626 minutes.

This is particularly noteworthy, as goalkeepers usually dominate Barcelona's minutes rankings, with Joan Garcia expected to lead the chart. However, Garcia missed several games due to injury and thus did not make it to the top spot. Yamal has played in six of Barcelona's eight matches so far, including Athletic Club, Rayo Vallecano, Valencia, Feyenoord, Racing Santander, and Sevilla.

His workload is a testament to his importance to the team and the faith placed in him by manager Hansi Flick. Along with Raphinha, Dani Olmo, Karim Adeyemi, Pedri, and Marc Bernal, Yamal has been a consistent presence in every match, making him an integral part of Barcelona's success this season.
