Lamine Yamal Set To Receive New Shirt Number That Lionel Messi Once Wore At Barcelona

Next season, Lamine Yamal will receive a new squad number from Barcelona, which was formerly owned by Lionel Messi.

You will now know who Lamine Yamal is, if you were unaware of him before this summer.

With a number of electrifying performances, the 17-year-old phenom lit up Euro 2024 for Spain, helping his country win the competition for a record-breaking fourth time.

Yamal, who made his senior Spain debut in September of last year at the age of sixteen, finished seven games at Euro 2024 with one goal and four assists, earning him the title of UEFA’s Young Player of the Tournament.

He became the youngest goal scorer in the history of the European Championship with his equalizer against France in the semifinal.

In a La Liga victory over Real Betis in April 2023, the youthful winger made his first appearance for Barcelona as a late substitution.

Yamal broke the previous record, set by Ansu Fati in 2019, becoming the club’s youngest-ever league début at the age of 15 years, 9 months, and 16 days.

It should come as no surprise that Yamal, a young youngster from the academy, made his debut wearing the number 41 shirt.

He wore the number 27 shirt the previous season but it appears that he may switch it up for 2024–2025, reports Sport Bible
