Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal has shared his thoughts after officially taking over the iconic number 10 jersey, once worn by club legend Lionel Messi. The young Spanish star made the remarks on Wednesday following the signing of a new long-term contract that ties him to the club until 2031.

During a special presentation led by club president Joan Laporta, Yamal expressed his pride in carrying on a legacy worn by greats like Messi, Ronaldinho, and Maradona.

“Messi laid the foundation with this shirt,” he said. “Now it’s my time. Every kid dreams of having something from players like Messi and Ronaldinho. I’ll do my best to keep that legacy going.” He also made it clear that he’s not feeling any pressure. “It’s just a new number,” he said, “but my goal remains the same.”
