Lamine Yamal has been celebrating taking ownership of the No. 10 shirt at Barcelona and penning his contract extension until 2031 at a special event at Camp Nou.

The 18-year-old will wear the iconic number for the 2025-26 season and is currently in pre-season training ahead of the campaign.

Yamal was asked what his manager has said about his shirt number change and had a pretty entertaining response.

“What did Flick tell me? He told me to go to bed early, that there’s a double session tomorrow,” he said with a smile. “The dressing room congratulated me, and I’m grateful to them because without them I wouldn’t be here.
