Barcelona star, Lamine Yamal has inherited the club's number 10 shirt, previously worn by all-time great Lionel Messi. "Our 10," wrote Barca on social media, accompanied by a video featuring Yamal.In a statement, Yamal said: Its been a dream of mine since I was a kid, and Im very happy. My family and I are very happy.. Bara is my life , its my home. Ive been here since I was seven. Im really looking forward to playing in front of this crowd, at the Camp Nou this year, well give them a lot of joy. The 18-year-old winger, often compared to the Argentine superstar who also came through the club's La Masia youth academy, helped the Catalan giants win a domestic treble last season. Yamal has scored 25 goals for the club in over 100 appearances, making his debut in 2023 at the age of 15 wearing the number 41 shirt.
After a season wearing the 27, last summer Yamal followed in Messi's footsteps by taking the number 19, which the Argentine wore at the club between 2005 and 2008. Ansu Fati inherited Messi's number 10 shirt in 2021, when now Inter Miami player left Barca for Paris Saint-Germain. Due to a series of injuries, Fati was unable to fulfill his potential at Barca and signed on loan for Monaco earlier in July. Other star names, including Diego Maradona, Ronaldinho, and Rivaldo, have worn the Barcelona number 10 shirt in the past.
