It has now been confirmed. Lamine Yamal will wear Barcelona’s iconic number 10 next season as he follows in the footsteps of Messi.
Both started wearing number 19, followed by 10 – a number donned by some of the club’s greats.
The names read like a who’s who of footballing royalty. Messi, of course, Diego Maradona, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Romario, Hristo Stoichkov, Juan Roman Riquelme, Pep Guardiola and Laszlo Kubala.
