After a shocking game, they prevailed 3-2 in extra time over Real Madrid and won the Copa del Rey. In a game, where there was a lot of tension. Passion and spectacle, the 17-year-old (born 13/7/2007) Lamine Yamal (WITH a new platinum hair color) may not have scored, but he created with a flawless move, the first goal of his team, which was scored by the also talented, midfielder Pedri as well as the second by the striker Ferran Torres, being one of the protagonists of the grand final.
In an era where the boundaries between adolescence and football immortality are becoming increasingly blurred, Lamine Yamal has achieved something that seems to come out of a novel. At just 17 years old, the young Spanish right winger has already "etched" his name in golden letters in football. Achieving what other top players need an entire career to touch.
First: Lamine conquered the Euro with the Spanish national team in the summer of 2024. Where he played a pivotal role in the path to the title. His amazing performances earned him the award for the best young footballer of the tournament, while his presence was also present in the best 11 of the tournament, among the legends of European football.

LaLiga
Copa del Rey
Supercopa de España
Three titles that came to seal his rapid rise and establish him as an integral member of one of the most important clubs in the world.
Impressive numbers
Even though he is only 17 years old and has his whole future ahead of him. The young Yamal has already made sure to put his name in the pantheon of football. He has 48 contributions in goals and assists for Barcelona this season. The Spanish international not only participated but also starred.
In the Spanish national team, with 19 appearances and 12 G/A, he proved that he is not just a "next big thing", but an already established footballer at the highest level. In addition, Yamal won both the Golden Boy Award *from the Italian newspaper Tuttosport) and the Kopa Trophy (from the leading sports magazine France Football - in collaboration with UEFA), two of the most emblematic awards for young footballers, which recognize talent and perspective on a global scale.
Add to this his selection in the FIFA Best Men's XI of 2024 and one realizes that we are talking about a footballer who is already considered among the best in the world.
