Lamine Yamal is set to take over the iconic No. 10 shirt at Barcelona and Rivaldo think it’s the right decision by the club.

Ansu Fati’s departure to Monaco on loan has freed up the 10, and Yamal is set to be announced as it’s new owner on his 18th birthday.

Rivaldo says Yamal has done enough in his young career to date to warrant being handed the famous number.

“I don’t think it’s going to be a problem for him, because he plays with incredible calmness and doesn’t seem to be the age he is when you see him on the pitch,” he said, via Sport.
