Lamine Yamal talks Messi, Ansu, Flick, No. 10 shirt, ambitions – ‘I will try to continue that legacy'
Lamine Yamal is now officially FC Barcelona's new No. 10, following in the footsteps of absolute legends like Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho, and Diego Maradona. The 18-year-old winger was confirmed as the new No. 10 today, while he also signed his new contract with the club until 2031 in a special ceremony. After briefly speaking to the club media about the special day, Lamine then interacted with other media at the Barça Store, where he discussed what the renewal and inheriting the No. 10 shirt meant to him. Kicking things off, the teenage wonderkid said: 'What this renewal means is that I will continue to play for the club of my life, I will continue to enjoy it. There is no pressure on me, I will continue to enjoy myself with another number.' On whether the long-term contract is the first step towards him becoming a Barcelona legend, the youngster replied: 'Renewing with Barça until 2031 is a big step, it's the beginning of a road that I hope will be very long and full of victories. We'll see, we'll try to enjoy it more than last year and hopefully I can fulfil my dreams here.' Talking about the No. 10 shirt, made iconic by Lionel Messi, Lamine said: 'Messi has made his own path, I'm going to make mine, and the number 10 comes from Ansu now. So, I will try to make all the happy, those who are there and those who are at home.' On how he plans to carry forward the legacy of greats like Messi, Maradona, and Ronaldinho, all of whom donned the No. 10 shirt at Barça, he replied: 'I hope so, they are three legends of football, three legends of this club. I would take everything from each of them. Grateful for the club's trust, and I will try to continue that legacy.' Just 18 years old, Lamine is already one of the biggest stars and has to deal with a lot of praise and attention coming his way. Talking about how he deals with it all, the La Masia gem 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 otherwise, one day I will be very high and another very low.' Discussing the challenges he has set for himself moving forward, Lamine remarked: 'I haven't won the Champions League, so winning the Champions League and the World Cup. 'To win the title we have been missing, which has been the Champions League, and to keep growing and playing as well.' On whether he dreamt of wearing the No. 10 shirt for Barcelona, the Spanish international said: 'When I was a kid, my dream was to make my debut for Barça, I will wear the number 10 and every kid who lives with Barça dreams of that, I will try to wear it with great honour and I am very grateful for the confidence.' When asked about what manager Hansi Flick had told him ahead of the special ceremony, Lamine replied: 'Flick told me there's a double session tomorrow and to get to bed early.' Talking about his teammates, he added: 'Everyone congratulated me; we're a very close-knit dressing room, and I'm very grateful to them.' The youngster also expressed his deep gratitude towards his grandmother, who was present at the ceremony today, saying: 'The event had been delayed because of her, because she was in Morocco. I want to try to repay her for everything she has done for me, which is not going to be possible, because she has done a lot.' Finally, regarding the attention he receives off the pitch, Lamine said: 'At the end of the day I work for Barça, I play for Barça, but when I'm away from the Ciutat Esportiva I enjoy my life and that's it.'

Lamine Yamal Investigated Over Party Performers With Dwarfism
It's safe to say that Lamine Yamal, the 18-year-old Spanish soccer star, is living a life far different than your average teen. For context, Lamine is currently regarded as one of the best soccer players in the world and plays for Barcelona, one of the sport's top clubs. Talented teenagers aren't unusual in professional soccer; however, Lamine has broken numerous records, like being the youngest ever player to feature at a UEFA European Championship, and the youngest ever goalscorer in a European Championship, both when he was just 16 years old. Lamine is reported to be worth around $8 million, and so, it'll come as no surprise to hear that he went all out for his 18th birthday party last Sunday. However, the Barcelona star is set to be the subject of a government investigation following reports that he hired people with dwarfism to attend the party as entertainers. According to the BBC, the birthday party took place at a rented property in a small town just north-west of Barcelona, with a ton of influencers, YouTubers, and several of Lamine's Barcelona teammates in attendance. It's been reported that guests were banned from filming on their phones at the event; however, numerous videos have since surfaced, including one, published by the Daily Mail, which appears to show a group of men with dwarfism arriving at the venue with luggage. Lamine shared some pictures from the event with his 36.3 million Instagram followers, showing him dressed in a white suit with plenty of diamond jewelry, and what appears to be a diamond-encrusted cane. The video footage has been making the rounds on social media, and now, Spain's Ministry for Social Rights has requested that the country's prosecutor's office launch an investigation into Lamine to determine if his party breached disability laws, which prohibit the mocking or denigrating of people with disabilities. BBC Sport reported that the Association of People with Achondroplasia and other Skeletal Dysplasias in Spain (ADEE) has filed a legal complaint against the soccer player and 'publicly denounces the hiring of people with dwarfism as part of the entertainment,' saying that it 'perpetuates stereotypes, fuels discrimination, and undermines the image and rights' of people with disabilities. Neither Lamine nor FC Barcelona has spoken out about the controversy. However, a Spanish radio station called RAC1 broadcast an interview with a person claiming to be one of the 'artists with dwarfism who was hired' to attend the party. The individual, who chose to remain anonymous, defended Lamine's alleged actions, saying: 'No one disrespected us… I don't understand why there's so much hype. We're normal people, who do what we want, in an absolutely legal way.' Well, this is certainly not a good look. We'll keep you posted with any updates.

📸 Lamine hints at wanting the number 10 again with another Instagram story
📸 Lamine hints at wanting the number 10 again with another Instagram story At just 17 years old, Lamine Yamal is generating great excitement among FC Barcelona fans with a series of Instagram posts that suggest an imminent announcement: the possible inheritance of the iconic number '10'. In recent days, the young talent has shared stories with images of legends who made their mark with that number, such as Diego Maradona, Ronaldinho, and, more recently, Lionel Messi. The gesture has not gone unnoticed among the club's followers, who interpret these posts as a signal that Yamal will be the next to wear the most symbolic number of Barça. Since Messi's departure, the number has had a more discreet presence, and now it could return to prominence with one of the most promising talents from La Masía. If confirmed, it would be a step of enormous symbolism and responsibility for one of the jewels of the future azulgrana.
