The story of the 10 in Barcelona: After Messi and Ronaldo, it was given to 18-year-old Yamal

Barcelona officially extended its contract with Lamine Yamal until 2031. The 18-year-old star also received the number 10 jersey.

The Catalan giant increased Yamal's salary to 16 million euros, to which he gave a new 6-season contract.

Barcelona also entrusted the young star with the number 10 jersey, which has a very important place in the club's history.

Some football fans criticized the decision to assign Yamal the number. Some argue that it's too early for Yamal to wear the number 10 jersey, considering other legends. Legends like Messi, Maradona, Romario, Rivaldo, Maradona, Ronaldinho, and Hagi have previously worn the number 10 jersey at Barça.

MESSI AT THE TOP FOR 13 YEARS

While Rivaldo wore it for 5 years and Ronaldinho for 5 years, Messi wore it for 13 years.
