It’s official, Lamine Yamal is Barcelona’s new number 10 🔟 | OneFootball

At the official event of his renewal until 2031, the club has unveiled what will be the new number of the jewel of La Masia.

It's not just any number for Barcelona; it's the number once worn by names like Ronaldinho, Romario, Maradona, Kubala, or a certain Leo Messi. From today, Lamine Yamal, at just 18 years old, will be the new '10' for the Blaugrana.

At the official event of his renewal alongside Joan Laporta, Lamine has signed his commitment until 2031 and posed with what will be his new jersey and new number.

A number that is more than just a number, with special symbolism, and it clearly suggests that Lamine is the 'heir' to Barça's great '10': Leo Messi. The responsibility is as great as the comparison he faces.
