“Barcelona’s Youngest Player: Meet 15-Year-Old Wonderkid Lamine Yamal”

Lamine Yamal, aged 15, has become Barcelona’s youngest player in a century after making his debut against Real Betis. The winger, who was scouted by La Masia talent spotters at the age of five, almost scored and could have had an assist in his brief cameo. Yamal has been training with the first team for a year and is seen as a special talent who could emulate Lionel Messi. Born to a Moroccan father and Guinean mother, Yamal grew up in the Barcelona suburb Mataro and progressed through the ranks, playing for three age groups as his development was carefully managed.
