Hey folks, it’s been a while, but I’ve been messing around with some football stuff again. Specifically, I was looking into Lamine Yamal’s jersey number. Kid’s a rising star, and I was curious about what number he’s rocking on the field.
So, I started by just checking out what he wears for Barcelona. Turns out, he’s got the number 19 for them. I thought maybe he’d get the iconic number 10, you know, the one Messi used to wear. But nah, I guess they didn’t want to put that kind of weight on his shoulders just yet. Makes sense.
Then I dug a little deeper. There was a buzz going around that he was gonna switch it up for the Spanish national team. And guess what? He did! For the upcoming games against Denmark and Serbia, Yamal is gonna be wearing the number 10. Big deal, right? I found out that his Barcelona teammate, Dani Olmo, usually wears it, but he’s injured right now. So, Yamal’s stepping in to fill those big shoes.
I got a bit sidetracked and looked into the history of the number 19 at Barcelona. It’s not just any number. Some pretty big names have worn it before – Franck Kessie, Ferran Torres, and even Sergio Aguero. And get this, even Messi had it from 2005 to 2008 before he moved to number 10.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Barcelona: Yamal wears number 19.
- Spain: Yamal will wear number 10 for the next matches.
- Number 19 Legacy: Worn by Kessie, Torres, Aguero, and even Messi at one point.
Now, whether he keeps the number 10 for Spain in the long run is still up in the air. Some reports say he’s just borrowing it from Olmo. But hey, even if it’s temporary, it’s a pretty cool moment for the young guy. Yamal is now officially a first-team player at Barcelona. I am sure wearing the legendary number 10 for his national team is huge, showing he’s ready for the spotlight.
That’s all I’ve got for now. It’s just a little number talk, but I thought it was interesting. I’ll probably keep following his journey. You never know what other interesting things might pop up.
Cheers!
