Barcelona's young star, Lamine Yamal, has surprised the technical staff with the physical changes recorded during pre-season measurements.
The talented striker, who is now 18 years old, is measured at 181 centimeters tall, a full 10 centimeters taller than when he made his debut with the first team two years ago.
When he broke into the first team, Yamal was only 171cm tall and the club did not expect him to reach such an impressive height for a winger. His physical development is further evidence of his continued growth as an exceptional talent.
At the age of 18, Yamal is already considered one of the best footballers in the world and is a serious candidate for the 2025 Ballon d'Or, after an extraordinary season with Barcelona and Spain.
This summer, he had a longer break compared to last year, as he did not participate in the Club World Cup with Barcelona. This gave him the opportunity to recover physically and mentally after a long season.
Yamal spent part of the holidays in Italy and Brazil, while his 18th birthday celebration on July 13 received a lot of attention on social media due to some controversial details.
Now, the player who fills stadiums with his talent and charisma has returned to training with Barcelona and has taken on a new responsibility, the number 10 jersey, previously worn by legends like Messi, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo.
With a noticeable physical growth and an increasingly rich experience, the 2025/26 season could be the full-blown season for Lamine Yamal. /Telegraph/
