Lamine Yamal, after turning 18, has been given the prestigious number 10 shirt at Barcelona for the 2025-26 season, a number previously worn by Messi, Maradona, and Ronaldinho. Yamal aims to honor the legacy of these football legends while making the number his own. Messi’s history at the club included 672 goals in 778 appearances, contributing significantly to Barcelona's success. Ansu Fati, the previous holder, has been loaned to Monaco. Yamal expresses gratitude for the opportunity to represent one of football's most coveted numbers.
"Messi paved the way with the number 10, I will make mine," Yamal told reporters. "They are three soccer and club legends. Every kid dreams of having something from Messi, Ronaldinho and Maradona... I'll try to carry on that legacy."
"First, my dream was to debut for Barca and wear the number 10. Everyone who grows up here dreams of that. I'm grateful to the club."
