Barcelona's latest star Lamine Yamal has inherited the no.19 shirt at Camp Nou ahead of the new season, it has been confirmed by the Spanish giants.
The Spaniard, who only turned 17 the day before helping his side lift the EURO 2024 trophy at the expense of England on Sunday, has already racked up 50 appearances for Barcelona since his debut, and is the brightest young talent currently in world football.
Now, he has taken the no.19 shirt, which was previously held by Vitor Roque but has also become synonymous with Lionel Messi's rise to stardom, with the Argentine having worn that number for three seasons at the Camp Nou between 2005 and 2008.
Will Yamal be able to follow that trajectory? All signs to date suggest so.
