Yamal Chases Historic Milestone Against Athletic Bilbao

Lamine Yamal, the winger for FC Barcelona, is targeting 50 official goals with the first team when he faces Athletic Bilbao tomorrow, Thursday, as he needs just one more goal to achieve this milestone.

According to Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo," Yamal, aged 19, has scored 49 goals for Barcelona, with 7 goals in the 2023/2024 season, 18 in the 2024/2025 season, and 24 in the 2025/2026 season.

Since his first appearance with the first team in April 2023, Yamal has continued to develop impressively, gradually becoming one of Barcelona's key players.

The 2025/2026 season has been Yamal's most prolific yet, as he scored 24 goals, earning him the title of La Liga's best player.

Yamal has a good record against Athletic Bilbao, having played 6 matches against the Basque team in La Liga, during which Barcelona achieved 5 victories and 1 draw, with the player scoring 2 goals.

The challenge to reach 50 goals comes after a start that Yamal did not hope for this season against Elche, where he showed his displeasure after being substituted during the match.

If he scores against Athletic Bilbao, Lamine Yamal will become the youngest player in Barcelona's history to reach 50 goals with the first team, adding another achievement to his career with the Catalan club.
