When Lionel Messi left Barcelona, he left a hole that can’t be filled by anyone else. He was the best player ever, and for 15 years he won everything with the same team. There had never been anything like this in the history of sports.

 

Also, it was clear that Barcelona was struggling to play like they did before the Argentine.

Two years in a row, they were sent to the Europa League. This year, they beat Napoli in the round of 16 and made it to the quarterfinals.

 

 

 

A lot of people were interested in 16-year-old Lamine Yamal during this game. He’s been a big star all season. Not only is this a big year for the young player, but he is already one of the best players in Europe in his position.

At this point, it looks like Yamal will be moved to the senior team for next season. Catalunya Radio said in a story that the promotion could mean a lot of work. SPORT passed this information on.

 

 

The news says that Yamal might wear the #10 shirt when he gets promoted next season. Of course Messi wore it before him.

At the moment, there are only three first-team spots open: #12, #24, and #10. Yamal could do one of these things or wait for other people to leave so that there are more spots available.

 

 

Many people, on the other hand, don’t want Yamal to take the #10 spot at Barcelona. They say that’s too much for a player who isn’t even officially an adult yet.

Ansu Fati has played as #10 since Messi left. He is now playing for Brighton & Hove Albion on loan. That’s not a good sign for the number, even though it doesn’t have much to do with it.

 

 

Alonso, Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen, Raphinha, and Oriol Romeu have all been linked with leaving the team. This means that numbers #11, #18, #23, and #17 could become available.
