Yamal, best ever La Liga scorer before age of 18

Lamine Yamal has already broken many records regarding age. At the end of the La Liga season, he broke another record. 

Before turning 18, Yamal scored for Barcelona 14 goals in the Spanish League, and this is the highest number in this age category in the history of the league. 
The previous record stood for more than 90 years and belonged to Pablo Pombo from Racing Santander (11 goals). It was then repeated by Ansu Fati.
Yamal will no longer be able to increase this record, because by the beginning of the next season he will already be 18 years old.
To tell more, Yamal became even the top scorer of all 5 top European leagues before the age of 18 over last 50 years; he surpassed Roberto Mancini who scored 12 goals for Sampdoria in Serie A before reaching 18 years of age in 1982.
The last one from top 5 leagues to score more is Maryan Wisniewski (France): 15 league goals for Lens before turning 18 (in 1955).
Also, Yamal became in the finished Spanish season the first player in history to score 3 goals in Clasicos before the age of 18.
