Barcelona’s rising star Lamine Yamal, 18, has officially claimed the club’s legendary number 10 jersey—a symbol of greatness once worn by Lionel Messi and other football icons. The announcement, made Wednesday, sent fans into a frenzy as the club posted "Our 10" on social media with a hype video showcasing Yamal’s skills. 🔥
Yamal, who debuted at just 15 in 2023, has already netted 25 goals in 116 appearances. Last season, he helped Barça secure a domestic treble while wearing the number 19 shirt—another nod to Messi’s early career. Now, stepping into the No.10 legacy, he follows legends like Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, and Diego Maradona. 🏆
The move comes after Ansu Fati’s loan to Monaco, ending his three-year stint with the iconic number. While Yamal’s talent shines, his recent 18th birthday celebration sparked controversy after hiring entertainers with dwarfism, prompting Spain’s Ministry of Social Rights to request an investigation. ⚖️
Can Yamal live up to the No.10 legacy? Fans are betting on his "La Masia magic" to keep Barça on top. 👀
