Lamine Yamal chooses Barcelona squad number for next season

Well, let me tell you – Lamine Yamal is truly the talk of the football world right now! & after his fantastic debut season at the club level, & becoming a European Champion with his country just last weekend, he’s undoubtedly going to be the main attraction of Barcelona’s 2024/25 season. Oh, and get this – he’s chosen to wear a brand new number next season!

Yamal has decided to don the number 19 jersey, which is the same number he used for Spain in their title-winning run at Euro 2024. Barca have made it all official and everything. Isn’t that exciting?

You know, there was a whole lot of speculation towards the end of last season that Yamal would inherit the iconic number 10 shirt that belonged to the legendary Lionel Messi for over a decade. But Ansu Fati is still holding onto that one, and Yamal himself has said he’d leave such a big decision up to the club. Hmm, wonder what they’ll do about that.

But hey, Lamine’s taken matters into his own hands and snagged the number 19 instead. This’ll stop all the silly speculation and drama, y’know? And it won’t add any unnecessary pressure on the kid, who’s just 17 years old, mind you. Gotta give him some room to breathe, right?

So, if you were waiting to get your hands on a fresh Lamine Yamal jersey, now you know – it’s gonna be the number 19, not the iconic 10. Probably the right call, if you ask me. Can’t wait to see what he does in that new number next season!
