BARCELONA, Sept 10 - Lamine Yamal became Barcelona’s youngest-ever captain at 19 years and 58 days during the Spanish champions’ 5-1 win over Feyenoord in the Champions League yesterday.

First-choice captain Raphinha handed the armband to the Spanish forward when the Brazilian was substituted in the 71st minute.
