Lamine Yamal ready to take over from Messi next year?

In 2021, FC Barcelona supporters mourned the departure of Lionel Messi. Until then, no one had succeeded in forgetting the Argentine genius, whose shadow still hovered over Catalonia. But in recent months, a certain Lamine Yamal has been asserting himself as the successor to the man who made the Culés dream for more than a decade. His goal scored last Sunday against Real Madrid in the final of the Spanish Super Cup (5-2) was reminiscent of an action worthy of the heyday of La Pulga.

Lamine Yamal will take number 10 next year!

And there is no doubt that this comparison will be mentioned more and more in the media. Indeed, according to information from Jota Jordi, journalist for El Chiringuito, the Spaniard should recover number 10 next season in place of Ansu Fati, who has been champing at the bit for a few seasons now. Which would bring him even closer to Messi, who had worn the 19 at Barça before taking the 10. Currently holding the 19, the 17-year-old crack is destined to take over from his illustrious predecessor.
