BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Teenage star Lamine Yamal has signed a contract extension to stay at Barcelona until 2031, the club announced Tuesday.
The 17-year-old Yamal helped the Catalan club clinch a domestic treble — La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup — with his goals, dribbling and playmaking.
He scored the the decisive goal to clinch Barcelona’s 28th Spanish league title in a 2-0 victory at crosstown rival Espanyol nearly two weeks ago.
Barcelona also reached the Champions League semifinals this campaign.
His big season — he scored 18 goals overall and led La Liga with 13 assists — came after he helped Spain win the European Championship last summer.
