Recently, Lamin Yamal extended his contract with Barcelona and changed his number from 19 to 10. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Under this number, famous players like Lionel Messi and others have previously played for the "blaugrana" team. Former renowned footballer Sergio Aguero, who commented on the number change, said:
“Of course, the number 10 at Barcelona has great symbolic significance. When you think of this number, the first names that come to mind are Leo Messi, as well as Ronaldinho, Maradona, and other great players.
I believe Yamal is worthy of the number 10, showing his character and skill for a player of his age. He is performing excellently not only at Barcelona but also in the Spanish national team.
So far, he is handling the pressure well,” Aguero said in an interview with Stake.com. Lamin Yamal turned 18 on July 13.
