Ansu Fati and Lionel Messi were on the scoresheet in either half to help their team win the second league match since the resumption of the 2019-20 season.
Ansu Fati broke the record of Juanmi Jimenez, who had scored twice for Malaga against Real Madrid at the age of 17 years and 115 days in 2010.
Barca reduce the gap at the top to three points behind Real Madrid and begin to regain some rhythm under new coach Quique Setien after Thursday's 5-0 thumping of Leganes in the Copa del Rey.
The list is made taking into consideration top leagues in England, Spain, Germany, Italy, France and Portugal. Both Fati and Rodrygo have a couple of goals against their name.
The Barca forward became the club's youngest ever goalscorer when he netted his first goal for the club earlier this season.
Pique was answering to the host’s question of how his 17-year-old teammate Ansu Fati gets to training sessions when he made the revelation.
Notably, even if the Barcelona forward plays for Spain at the under-17 level, FIFA rules allow him to change his national team at a senior level as he is eligible to play for two more countries.
The striker, at the age of just 16 years and 304 days, now leads the list of most precocious goalscorers in a Barca shirt.
