Lamine Yamal is one of the most decorated teenagers in football history. At just 17 years old, the La Masia graduate has a collection of trophies many veterans dream of. The present and future of Barcelona and football itself, Lamine Yamal, has already won most of the competitions he has played in.
2-time Spanish Champion
Lamine Yamal only started to be a major part of the squad last season but he has been part of the squad for almost 3 years. The youngster was called up to the first team by Xavi HernĂĄndez when he was just 15 years old and won La Liga in the 22/23 season.
Under Hansi Flick, Lamine Yamal reached new levels of stardom, becoming one of the most important players of Barcelona. He scored 9 goals and provided 13 assists in La Liga this season. He has the most assists in the league and the most big chances created. When Lamine got injured in the middle of the season, his absence was very visible on the field. This shows that he doesn’t just provide goal contributions but also unpredictability in attack. The highest rated player on FotMob and 2nd highest on Sofascore, just behind Raphinha, Lamine Yamal was a key player in Barcelona’s La Liga campaign this season.
Copa del Rey 24/25 winner
Copa del Rey was also a part of the domestic treble; Lamine Yamal won this season. Lamine has 2 goals and 5 assists (the most) throughout the tournament. He showed up when it mattered the most for Barcelona. A goal and an assist in the round of 16, a goal in the quarter-final, an assist in each leg of the semi-final, and two more in the finals against arch-rivals Real Madrid. Lamine Yamal’s stellar performances led Barcelona to a Copa del Rey title since the 20/21 season with Leo Messi.
Spanish Super Cup winner
Barcelona won the Spanish Super Cup in some style with 5 goals to none. Lamine Yamal started Barça’s remontada with his wonderful goal, leaving the Madrid defense stunned. This was the first trophy of the season for Barcelona and Lamine Yamal. The youngster dominated Los Blancos for a 2nd time after the 4-0 La Liga win at the BernabĂ©u.
Euro 2024 Champion
However, Lamine Yamal truly announced himself to the world in the 2024 Euro, leading Spain to become European champions. The starboy had 4 assists and a goal throughout the tournament as he dismantled defenses one after the other. He had a goal contribution in every knockout phase of the tournament, which included the wonder goal against France. A goal that made his critics quiet, particularly Rabiot, who said the teenager “will have to do more” to get past France.
Lamine Yamal is already a player with numerous achievements in his career, and no doubt he will keep this trend throughout his career. He might have been denied Champions League glory by Inter Milan, but this is a title he will win many times in his career, I’m sure.
