Yamal - who celebrates his 18th birthday today - played a massive role in Barca's reaching of the Champions League semi-finals.
But he couldn't help guide his team-mates into May's final as they were bested by Italian giants

His trip to the south of
Italy
made headlines as he was
11 YEARS
his senior.
Yamal was seen hanging with Fati Vasquez on the beautiful island of Pantelleria, located in the south of Sicily.
The pair's hanging out sparked suggestions that they may be an item, despite their
DOUBLE-DIGIT
age difference.
Yamal, however, quickly put those rumours to bed.

Yamal has racked up air miles galore during his epic summer of travel.
But he's chomping at the bit to get back to full fitness as he'll be one of Barca's first first-team players to report for pre-season training.
Monday's training session will be Yamal's first since the activation of his new bumper deal at the Nou Camp, which runs until the summer of 2031.
A special ceremony will be held at the club's offices to commemorate Yamal's pledging of his long-term
future
to the club and will be attended by his close family members.
The question is now will he inherit the No10 worn by so many Barca idols before him including Diego Maradona, Ronaldinho and, of course, Lionel Messi.

Kneecap announce new UK tour dates for group's 'biggest run of shows ever'
Belfast rap trio Kneecap have announced new tour dates to play their "biggest run of shows ever" across Scotland, Wales and England. The move comes after Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was charged in May with a terrorism offence relating to allegedly displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, north London, during a gig in November 2024. The group said their actions, including holding the Hezbollah flag, had been taken out of context. Announcing the news on Tuesday, the group – which is made up of Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin and JJ Ó Dochartaigh – shared a post on Instagram with the caption that read: "Here we go. "We're back in November across Scotland, England and Wales to play our biggest run of shows ever. "All of ye can get a pre-sale link for tomorrow at 10am ahead of the masses by signing up to our mailer or WhatsApp channel. "The Prime Minster himself cant stop us…he could stop sending bombs to Israel but that's another story…" The group are known for speaking out against the war in Gaza and recently performed to a sea of Palestinian flags during their set at the Glastonbury Festival in June. Kneecap claim the controversies surrounding the group are part of a smear campaign against them because of their vocal support for Palestine and criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza, which they say is a genocide. The group recently performed at Glasgow's O2 Academy, in a gig that sold out in 80 seconds. They were due to perform at the TRNSMT festival in Glasgow, but their set was axed after concerns raised by police. Their tour will start in Bournemouth on 14 November before moving on to Liverpool, Newcastle and Glasgow. Kneecap will also perform in London at the previously announced show at OVO Arena Wembley on 18 September. The band will play Belfast's Boucher Playing Fields on 29 August and Dublin's 3Arena on 16 and 17 December.
