Barcelona’s rising star, Lamine Yamal, continues to capture attention as he reaches new milestones in his young career. The 17-year-old sensation has been selected to wear the No. 10 shirt for Spain in their upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Denmark and Serbia.
Yamal, who has made a name for himself with both Barcelona and the Spanish national team, is now a key figure for La Roja. His rapid rise in football has seen his market value skyrocket to an impressive €150 million. His recent selection as Spain’s new No. 10 adds to his growing list of achievements.
The Spanish national team officially confirmed that Yamal will wear the No. 10 jersey for the upcoming matches, a significant honor for the young player. Traditionally, this number is associated with some of the greatest footballers, marking Yamal’s place as an integral part of Spain’s future.

Previously, Yamal was expected to take over the No. 10 shirt at Barcelona but chose to wear No. 17 instead, allowing teammate Ansu Fati to retain the iconic number. Now, with this latest development, Yamal embraces the opportunity to represent Spain in the prestigious No. 10 kit, which has historically been worn by the team’s most influential players.
Spain’s head coach, Luis de la Fuente, has made it clear that Yamal is an essential player in his squad.
“Lamine has earned his place in the team. His talent and performances speak for themselves,” said De la Fuente, reinforcing Yamal’s position as a key player for the national team.
Other squad members have also received their shirt numbers, with Pau Cubarsi being given No. 15 and Pedri continuing to wear No. 20.
