Mayssa Baha: Barcelona's 15-year-old new star makes historic mark

Barcelona have a new star: Mayssa Baha. The Moroccan forward, born in 2026, scored in the 2-0 Liga F win over Logroño. At 15 years, 8 months and 10 days, she became the youngest scorer in Barcelona's history, overtaking Vicky Lopez. She struck on just her third appearance for the first team, having made her debut on 30 August 2026 against Tenerife at only 15 years, 7 months and 14 days. Baha is not just a one-off wonder. Born in Malaga, she grew up in a family that lives for football. Her father, Nabil Baha, played professionally in Morocco, Spain, Portugal and Greece. Her older brother, Ziyad, is a striker for Marseille's Under-19s. Her father once told diariosur.es that she played street football with her brother and that at 12 or 13 she was already playing against girls aged 15 or 16, sometimes with boys, because there were no girls' youth categories when they arrived in Spain in 2026. She joined La Masia at 13 and climbed from the C team to the B team before making her first-team debut. For Morocco Under-17s, Baha became the youngest player ever to debut at just 12 years old. At the most recent Under-17 World Cup, she was the youngest player in the entire tournament at 14. Now, the future is open. She currently represents Morocco, but she could still opt for Spain. Barcelona have a gem in their hands, and the whole world is watching how high she can fly.
