Lamine Yamal Turns 18 with Record-Breaking Achievements

According to UEFA, Lamine Yamal — Barcelona’s phenomenal young talent — celebrated his 18th birthday with a long list of impressive achievements.

Born in Mataró, Yamal made his Barcelona debut at just 15 years old and has since broken multiple records, including becoming Spain’s youngest-ever international and scoring in the European Championship.

Lamine Yamal’s major achievements include:

• Winning Euro 2024 with the Spain national team
• Domestic treble with Barcelona in the 2024/25 season
• Golden Boy and Kopa Trophy winner
• 25 goals in 127 appearances

“He’s a once-in-50-years talent,” said Inter Milan head coach Simone Inzaghi after Yamal’s standout performance in the Champions League semifinal.

Wearing the iconic number 10, Yamal combines confidence with humility, building a strong personal brand on social media while staying grounded, thanks to his family roots in Morocco and Equatorial Guinea.

Having surpassed the early records of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Yamal now sets his sights on winning the Champions League with Barcelona and the World Cup with Spain.
