Barcelona’s 3-1 victory over Napoli in the Champions League Round of 16 wasn’t just a win, it was a historic night.
The Blaugrana etched their name in the competition’s record books by becoming the first team ever to start two players under 18 years old in a knockout stage match.
Teenagers Lamine Yamal (16 years, 243 days) and Pau Cubarsí (17 years, 50 days) took the field alongside veterans like Fermin Lopez, Joao Cancelo, and Robert Lewandowski, who found the net to secure the win for Barcelona.
While Amir Rrahmani pulled one back for Napoli, it wasn’t enough to prevent a historic night for the La Liga giants.
