Lamine Yamal:
“Wearing the iconic number 10 jersey is truly one of the greatest honors I could ever imagine. This number carries immense history and symbolism — it has been worn by some of the most legendary figures in football, players who didn’t just play the game, but defined it. From childhood, I’ve looked up to these heroes, dreaming of the day I might have the chance to step onto the pitch with this symbol of creativity, leadership, and passion.
Now that moment has come, and while it fills me with incredible pride, it also reminds me of the huge responsibility I carry. The number 10 isn’t just a number — it’s a legacy that demands dedication, resilience, and heart. It’s a symbol that fans around the world respect deeply, and it’s a challenge to live up to the standards set by those who came before me. I understand the expectations that come with this role, both on and off the field, and I am ready to embrace them fully.
For me, this is more than a jersey; it’s a calling. It represents creativity in attack, vision to see the game differently, and the courage to take risks when it matters most. I want to honor this legacy not only by giving my best performance every game but by growing as a player and as a person, inspiring those who look up to me just as I was inspired growing up. This is the start of an incredible journey, and I promise to give everything I have to make this number shine once again.“
