Yamal Inherits Barça’s Iconic No.10 Jersey


Eighteen-year-old prodigy Lamine Yamal has officially taken over the legendary No. 10 shirt at FC Barcelona, stepping into a legacy once worn by icons like Messi, Ronaldinho, and Maradona.
At a ceremony at Spotify Camp Nou, club president Joan Laporta presented the jersey to Yamal, who also extended his contract until 2031.
Yamal, fresh from celebrating his 18th birthday, expressed his gratitude and ambition: “Messi has made his way, and I’m going to make mine... I’ll try to follow in their footsteps,” he said, adding he doesn’t feel pressure but motivation.
Quick Facts:
- Yamal has signed a six-year contract, locking in until 2031 with a significant release clause.
- He scored 18 goals and 25 assists this season, contributing to Barcelona’s LaLiga, Copa del Rey, and Supercopa victories.
- His new jersey takes effect next season, following the departure of Ansu Fati on loan to Monaco.
Why It Matters:
- The No. 10 jersey is one of football’s most revered numbers—carried by legends across eras.
- Yamal has already made his mark: breaking age records, winning Euros with Spain, and establishing himself as a first-team regular.
- Despite off-field distractions—his birthday controversy involving hiring entertainers with dwarfism—Yamal has remained focused on football.
