Barcelona Youngster Lamine Yamal Receives No. 19 Shirt

Lamine Yamal, a 17-year-old prodigy, will wear the No. 19 shirt for Barcelona next season, following in the footsteps of Lionel Messi. Despite speculations, he opted against the No. 10 shirt out of respect for Ansu Fati. Yamal's impressive performances at Euro 2024 led to him being named UEFA's Young Player of the Tournament. The No. 19 shirt, with a rich history at Barcelona, was previously worn by Messi and other notable players. Barcelona officially registered Yamal as a first-team player, solidifying his status as a key figure for both club and country.
