Barcelona’s Iconic No. 10 Jersey Set to Embrace New Talent: Lamin Yamal
In an exciting turn of events for FC Barcelona fans, the legendary No.10 jersey is reportedly set to be donned by 17-year-old Lamin Yamal next season. This young prodigy has already made waves in the football world, contributing significantly to Barcelona’s triumphs in the Spanish Super League, Copa del Rey, and La Liga this season. With an impressive tally of 18 goals and 25 assists in 54 matches, Yamal is not just a rising star; he’s being hailed as one of the best players globally and is even in the running for the prestigious Ballon d’Or.
The weight of the No. 10 jersey is immense, especially after the departure of Lionel Messi, who wore it from the 2008-09 season until 2020-21, etching his name in football history. Following Messi’s exit, fans eagerly anticipated who woudl take on this iconic number, which has been worn by legends like Ronaldinho and Rivaldo. The jersey was briefly assigned to Ansu Fati, who was seen as Messi’s successor but struggled under the pressure, facing injuries that hindered his progress. Now, as Lamin Yamal prepares to step into this storied legacy, the football community watches with bated breath, hoping he can carry the torch and perhaps even redefine what it means to wear the no. 10 for Barcelona.
