Documented career positions
Lamine Yamal Nasraoui Ebana (born 13 July 2007) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right winger for La Liga club Barcelona and the Spain national team. He is considered the greatest teenage talent in the world. He made his first-team debut for Barcelona at just 15 years old. In 2024, he became a global superstar by helping Spain win Euro 2024, where he scored a stunning goal against France in the semi-final and was named Young Player of the Tournament. By January 2026, Yamal had firmly established himself as the heir to Lionel Messi at Barcelona. He wears the number 19 shirt for club and 10 for country. His playing style—left-footed right winger with immense dribbling and vision—draws constant comparisons to Messi. He won the 2024 Kopa Trophy and the 2025 Golden Boy award. Yamal comes from the working-class neighborhood of Rocafonda in Mataró (postcode 304), which he references in his "304" goal celebration. He represents a new, multicultural Spain, born to a Moroccan father and an Equatoguinean mother.
