Lamine Yamal, the 15-year-old who steals hearts in Barcelona

Yamal is the great novelty of FC Barcelona squad list for match against Atlético Madrid this sunday

Lamine Yamal young talent of FC Barcelona

Xavi left most of his partners and his players almost stunned when he announced the names of Barcelona's squad for Sunday's (23/4) game against Atletico Madrid. He included, as everyone expected, Pedri and De Jong, who overcame some injury problems, but also made a move that overshadowed everything. In the mission he also included Lamine Yamal, a 15-year-old soccer player who was born in 2007 (July 13) in the city of Mataro, Spain, to a Moroccan father and an Equatorial Guinean mother.


The young man who has been promoted to the first team of the Blaugrana for several months now plays as a right winger and everyone speaks in the best words. Apart from a one-month period when Xavi had him out for a disciplinary offence.


He was a negative protagonist along with other footballers in an incident wearing the jersey of the U17 national team. The petite Lamine is considered one of Masia's greatest talents and everyone in Barcelona believes that he will write his own history. He is left-footed regardless of whether he is used as a winger. He has amazing speed, scoring ability and is also very good at dribbling. Physically, he is quite strong despite his age, while in Spain he is considered to have leadership skills.


Now Lamine seems more focused on his career and at this point it is worth noting that his Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes plays an important role as he watches him closely. Either by himself or with his partners.


In fact, Xavi also mentioned Yamal at the press conference, stressing:


"We have given the opportunity to many young people. He will turn 16 in July. He has personality and innate talent. I have spoken to him and he is not afraid of anything. He is very happy and confident." The management of Barcelona a few months ago started contacts with the side of the footballer for a new contract in order to tie him".
