After a record-breaking season with 18 goals and 25 assists, Lamine Yamal is not only a Ballon d’Or contender but also the face of FC Barcelona’s future. At just 17, the Spanish international has won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Supercopa, and was named Best Young Player at Euro 2024.
In the Barça One series Inside Barça 24/25, Yamal shared his belief that both he and the team are only getting started. “Each year, I’ll grow, and the gap with rivals will become clearer,” he said, adding that he feels more confident with each match.
Yamal praised the team’s new mentality, calling it more united and combative, especially during big matches like the Copa del Rey final win over Real Madrid. “It was my first final with the fans… one of the best moments of my life,” he said.
Confident in the squad’s youth and potential, the 2024 Golden Boy believes Barça will soon be “unbeatable.” Having extended his contract to 2031, Yamal now stands as the leader of a rising generation determined to make history at Camp Nou.
