La Masia's youngster and their historic debut

Lamine Yamal joined La Masia at the age of 7 and soon showed his natural talent with outstanding technique, speed and tactical vision. All eyes were on Yamal when Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez named him in the first team at the age of 15.

On April 29, 2023, Yamal officially made history when he became the youngest player ever to debut for Barcelona at the age of 15 years and 290 days. The confident performance of a boy who had just passed his teenage years made everyone admire, signaling a bright future.

Records at national team level

Not only has he been successful at club level, Yamal's achievements with the Spanish national team are equally impressive.

After witnessing the talent of the player born in 2007, coach Luis de la Fuente immediately gave Yamal a chance to play for the Spanish national team. He quickly created memorable milestones.

On September 8, 2023, Lamine Yamal made his debut for the Spanish national team at the age of 16 years and 57 days. In the match against Georgia, he not only became the youngest player to wear the "La Roja" shirt, but also made history as the youngest scorer, contributing to the resounding 7-1 victory.

Not stopping there, Yamal continued to prove his extraordinary talent at Euro 2024. At 16 years and 338 days, he broke the record to become the youngest player ever to participate in the tournament.

With his magical dribbling, top performances and especially his classy goal against France in the semi-finals, Yamal played a key role in Spain's journey to winning Euro 2024.

In addition, that excellent performance brought him the title of Best Young Player of Euro 2024.

Maturity and position affirmation

After breaking records, Lamine Yamal continues to prove that he is not a temporary "phenomenon". In the 2024-2025 season, he became a mainstay of Barcelona when he continuously had breakthrough plays, assists and goals.

The player born in 2007 contributed greatly to the success of the Catalan team with the Spanish championship (La Liga) and the Spanish King's Cup (Copa del Rey) in the 2024-2025 season with Barcelona.

Although he has not been able to touch the Golden Ball this year, if Yamal continues to maintain his impressive form, the Golden Ball title will come to this player soon in the near future.
