A new prodigy emerged in the world of football as Lamine Yamal, at the age of 15 years, 9 months, and 16 days, made his debut for the Spanish giants Barcelona in La Liga. The manager, Xavi Hernandez, introduced the teenage sensation to the field during the Saturday night match against Real Betis at the Camp Nou. Yamal replaced Gavi, playing 7 minutes, wowing spectators and fueling talks about his bright future. Excelling over peers in La Masia training, he earned Xavi’s invitation to the first team.
By September 2022, he trained with senior players, prompting Xavi to add him to the squad in April 2023. In a recent match, Yamal made history as the club’s youngest debutant.“I think he’s so mature and can already make the difference for us,” Barça head coach Xavi Hernandez told reporters after the match. “We have to take care of him, but I think he’s ready and I’m not afraid to trust youth.”
Yamal holds the potential to compete for either Morocco, in alignment with his father’s nationality, or even potentially for Equatorial Guinea, given his mother’s origin from that nation. “Look, Hear and Be Silent.” his father advised him through Instagram, as they seemed to be out for dinner. Nevertheless, his birthplace is Spain. The Spanish federation had similar intentions held for Abde Ezzalzouli, yet the player ultimately chose to represent Morocco.
As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Luis de la Fuente might include the 16-year-old in the upcoming international break’s plans. Spain is scheduled to engage in two Euro 2024 qualifiers against Georgia and Cyprus. Yamal has already secured a spot in Barcelona’s first team lineup. Building on his strong performance during the preseason, he continued to showcase his skills against Cadiz in La Liga. This accomplishment led him to become the youngest player ever to participate in the competition.
Lamine Yamal set to become Spain’s youngest-ever player
Lamine Yamal’s football career is advancing swiftly. FC Barcelona’s rising star could soon become Spain’s youngest-ever appearance maker. MARCA reports that he’s likely to earn his first senior call-up next week. In 2023, the 16-year-old already holds two records, for youngest appearance and starter in La Liga for Barcelona.
According to MARCA, his exceptional skills were on display in a match against Tottenham, drawing comparisons to Lionel Messi’s iconic performance in 2005. Reportedly, the Spanish Football Federation met with Yamal and his family in Barcelona, confirming his call-up for Euro 2024 qualifiers against Georgia and Cyprus on September 1.
With a Moroccan father and Equatorial Guinean mother, Yamal has represented Spain in U-15 and U-17 levels. If he plays even briefly, he’ll break the current record held by his Barça teammate Gavi, who debuted for Spain at 17 years and 62 days. His rapid progress hints at a spot in the Euro 2024 squad, where he’d turn 17 just before the final.
