Yamal, who joined Barcelona’s youth set-up in 2015, made his first team debut in the 4-0 win over Betis. The 15-year-old was lively when he came on and had a shot on goal in an impressive showing. His introduction came a week after he was named in Xavi’s matchday squad for the first time.
Barcelona’s latest young star, Yamal – a dynamic winger with excellent technical ability – is the latest of many talents to come out of the club’s famed La Masia academy.
Yamal will hope to see more playing time in Barcelona’s next league game as the club closes in on its first-ever championship.
