VIDEO: Lamine Yamal, Barca’s lastest prodigy

Barcelona's academy, La Masia, continues doing what it does best: forging incredible talent. The academy that turned out Leo Messi 20 years ago has been working hard on Yamine Lamal.
The 16-year-old is a bright young talent, having joined La Masia aged 7, and becoming Barca's youngest La Liga debutant when he was still 15 in April 2023.
Most recently featuring in Barca's pre-season win over Tottenham in the Joan Gamper Trophy, Yamal came off the bench and got an assist after just a minute on the pitch.
He has also made several appearances for Spain on the global stage, most recently reaching the semi-finals of the Under-17 Euros with his country, starting all five matches and racking up four goals and two assists.
