  Yamal’s standing in Catalunya has been recognised with a new squad number, with the departure of Ansu Fati to Monaco freeing him to take an iconic jersey. The youngster is expected to do the No.10 justice.

  DID YOU KNOW?

  A bright start has been enjoyed to life as the latest heir to Messi’s throne, with his goal account for 2025-26 being opened in pre-season during a friendly clash with FC Seoul as Barca tour Asia.

  Said effort was a trademark strike from Yamal as he drifted past defenders, tried a clever flick and ultimately drilled the ball into the corner from the edge of the box. Barcelona will be hoping that is a sign of things to come.
