Everyone felt old after 15-year-old Lamine Yamal debuted for Barcelona as they beat 10-man Real Betis to move 11 points clear at the top of La Liga.

The Blaugrana defeated Los Verdiblancos 4-0 thanks to goals from Andreas Christensen, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and an own goal from Guido Rodriguez.

The academy product, who turns 16 in July, was brought on in the 84th minute to replace Gavi.

At 15 years and 285 days old, Yamal, who is a graduate of the club's famous La Masia academy, is the youngest player to ever feature for Barcelona in LaLiga courtesy of his brief cameo on Saturday night.

He nearly scored shortly after taking coming on to commemorate his debut in style.

In the 89 minute, Yamal threaded through a glorious defence-splitting pass with his wand of a left foot and a better touch from Ousmane Dembele would have surely delivered a fifth goal.

Yamal hasn't even signed a professional contract with Barca because he's still so young, but he will be able to do so as soon as he turns 16 in July.
