Lamine Yamal Nasraoui Ebana (born 13 July 2007) is a professional footballer who plays as a right winger for La Liga club Barcelona.

Early life

Born in Mataró, Barcelona, Catalonia, to a Moroccan father and an Equatorial Guinean mother,[1][2] Yamal spent most of his youth in Barcelona.[3][4][5]

Club career

Growing up through the youth ranks of La Masia, Yamal was soon viewed as one of the academy's best prospects.[3][6][7][8] Whilst added to the Juvenil A team—already above his age grade—for the 2022–23 season,[7] Yamal was selected by Xavi to train with the first team along with other youngsters in early September 2022.[1][4] While still yet to sign his first professional contract with the club, he appeared to be one of the academy members to most impress the Catalan coach.[6][9][10]

Yamal made his first-team debut on 29 April 2023, replacing Gavi in the 83rd minute in a 4–0 win against Real Betis in La Liga in which he registered a shot on target against former Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo and became the youngest player to appear for Barcelona's first team at 15 years, 9 months, and 16 days old.[11] He won his first title with Barça on 14 May 2023, having been part of the squad that won the 2022–23 La Liga.[12] Despite this, he would miss the title celebration the following week due to international duty with Spain.[13]

Yamal earned his first start for the club on 20 August 2023 in a 2–0 victory over Cádiz at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, becoming the youngest starter for Barcelona in La Liga at the age of 16 years and 38 days.[14][15] His first start was met with a standing ovation by the fans as he was subbed off with five minutes left in the game.[16] In his next starting appearance, Yamal was named man of the match after contributing towards two goals scored by Gavi and Robert Lewandowski in a 4–3 victory over Villarreal on 28 August 2023.[17][18] At 16 years and 45 days, he became the youngest player to supply an assist in a La Liga fixture.[19]

International career

Yamal is a youth international for Spain,[20] having played for the Spanish U15 and U16 squads.[4][21]

In 2023, he represented Spain's U17 side in the 2023 European U17 Championship with Yamal scoring 4 goals during the tournament.[22] Spain went all the way to the semi-finals where they were knocked out by France following a 3–1 defeat.[23]

Style of play

A left-footed forward with great dribbling, passing and scoring abilities, Yamal is able to play both as a centre-forward, an attacking midfielder or a winger, mostly on the right flank.[1][4][6][9][20]

With his technical profile, he was compared to Argentine idol Lionel Messi, like many La Masia trainees before him,[1][3][24][25] but also to more recent Barça player Ansu Fati.[6][7][26]
