FC Barcelona Ace Lamine Yamal Answers Party Life Critics
FC Barcelona ace Lamine Yamal answered a question for critics about his partying lifestyle on the ... More day that his contract renewal was made official and that the teenager inherited the number 10 shirt from Ansu Fati. FC Barcelona ace Lamine Yamal answered a question for critics about his partying lifestyle on the day that his contract renewal was made official and that the teenager inherited the number 10 shirt from Ansu Fati. The Ballon d'Or candidate has come under fire recently for his lavish 18th birthday party and other trips to Ibiza and Brazil over Barca's summer holidays. With Hansi Flick's men returning to work and starting their preseason on the landmark day for Lamine when he became of adult age, July 13, his contract renewal and inheritance of the number 10 from past greats such as Ronaldinho, Diego Maradona, Rivaldo and Lionel Messi was made official on Wednesday. Lamine answered questions in Catalan from the Catalan press and others in Spanish, and towards the end of a press conference, he was asked about his activities away from the pitch. 'At the end of the day I work for Barca, I play for Barca. And when I'm away from the Ciudad Esportiva (i.e. the Club's Joan Camper HQ) I enjoy my life and that's it,' he stated. 'The truth is that both criticism and praise, if they are not from my family or from people very close to me, I am indifferent, because if not, one day I will be very high and another very low,' Lamine also said elsewhere. Regarding Messi, who is often compared to because of their similarities as left-footed La Masia geniuses, Lamine noted how the Argentine 'has made his way' while vowing to make his own. 'The 10 comes from Ansu now. So, I will try to make all the Culers happy, those who are there (at Camp Nou) and those who are at home,' he promised. Lamien called Maradona, Ronaldinho and Messi 'three legends of football, three legends of this club'. 'I would keep everything from each of them. I am grateful for the trust of the club and I will try to continue that legacy,' he added. Lamine has pressure to live up to past greats at FC Barcelona As Ansu could tell Lamine, there are fewer jerseys heavier than the number 10 at FC Barcelona. Being a first team great is one thing, but doing the shirt justice and living up to the names of those that have gone before him will add extra pressure on a figure that we must remember is still a boy despite having recently become an adult.

Lamine Yamal says Barcelona is the ‘club of his life' after becoming new No 10
Lamine Yamal says that Barcelona is the 'club of his life' after being named as the Spanish side's new No 10. Barcelona have announced that Yamal, who turned 18 on Sunday, will now don the iconic No 10 shirt, which was recently vacated by Ansu Fati, who joined Monaco on loan last month. This comes after the winger signed a new six-year deal with La Liga champions in May, a contract that will see him stay at Barcelona until 2031. The Spain international spoke on his happiness at the new shirt number, and paid respect to Lionel Messi, who wore the number between 2008 and 2021. Lamine Yamal 10 🫶 — FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) July 16, 2025 Speaking at the press conference for the unveiling of his new number, Yamal said: 'What this new contract means is that I'll keep playing in the club of my life. I'm enjoying myself. I don't have any pressure. We are all happy. It's time to enjoy with a different number but the same goal.' 'This is a big step, the start of a road which I hope can be long and full of victories. I want to enjoy next season more than the previous one. Advertisement 'Messi did his own path, I'll do mine. Now it goes from Ansu to Lamine. I'll work at my maximum, giving everything to make the Culers happy. 'If (criticism and praise) does not come from my family, friends, or people I care about, it makes no difference to me. I can't feel too up with praise nor too down when I'm criticized. Now it's time to focus on football and enjoy it.' Since making his Barcelona debut in 2023 wearing the number 41, Yamal has since worn the numbers 27 and 19. The teenager revealed that his Barcelona teammates congratulated him on inheriting the same shirt worn by the likes of Messi, Ronaldinho, and Diego Maradona, as well as the reason why the announcement was delayed. 'This day was postponed after I asked for it because of my grandmother,' he said. 'She was in Morocco some weeks ago and I wanted her to be here in such a special moment. 'I always have to thank her for everything she's done for me, although I'll never be able to pay her back as she deserves to.'

Lamine Yamal to wear Barcelona's iconic no. 10 jersey next season
Lamine Yamal will switch to the No. 10 jersey at Barcelona–the same number Diego Maradona, Ronaldinho, and Lionel Messi wore for the Catalan club. 'I'll try to build my own path, but all kids would like to be like them,' Yamal said Wednesday at the club's announcement. 'All three have been incredible players; they're legends, and I'll try to follow in their footsteps.' Having turned 18, Yamal was able to sign the contract extension that he had agreed with Barcelona in May, keeping him in place until 2031. 'My goal is to keep winning and growing,' Yamal said. 'It's the club of my life. It's my home; I've been here since I was 7 years old.' Yamal wore the No. 19 jersey last season. The No. 10 most recently was with Ansu Fati, who will play on loan with Monaco. Yamal, accompanied by his family, received the No. 10 jersey from club president Joan Laporta. The announcement comes after Yamal was criticized for reportedly hiring people with dwarfism as entertainers during his lavish 18th birthday party last weekend. Yamal sidestepped the controversy on Wednesday. 'In the end, I work for Barça, but when I'm away from the club's training center, I enjoy my life, and that's it,' Yamal said. 'I'm indifferent to both criticism and praise if they don't come from my family or people close to me.'
