Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal continues to amaze fans with his consistent performances and impressive output this season, making a compelling case for being their player of the season so far. During Euro 2024, he elevated his game even further, delivering magical moments on football’s grandest stage.
Lamine Yamal will be rewarded by Spain with the number 10 jersey in the upcoming internationals against Denmark and Serbia. La Roja revealed their squad numbers for the Nations League matches, and with Dani Olmo sidelined due to injury, the 17-year-old Yamal will take up the iconic number.
There had been speculation over the summer that Yamal might inherit Lionel Messi’s number 10 at Barcelona, especially with Ansu Fati’s future uncertain. However, Yamal ultimately chose to wear the number 17 shirt, which Messi also donned before succeeding Ronaldinho as Barcelona’s number 10.
In a separate development, Argentine legend Lionel Messi announced that 10 Adidas athletes would wear special Messi +10 boots as part of a new promotional campaign. Among those selected were Barcelona’s Vicky Lopez, US teen prodigy Cavan Sullivan, and future Manchester City talent Claudio Echeverri.
