Lamine Yamal's story in one searchable, source-led timeline: his roots, Barça breakthrough, Spain records, honours and the moments that turned a prodigy into one of football's defining young players.
Born on 13 July 2007 in Esplugues de Llobregat and raised around Mataró, Yamal joined FC Barcelona at seven from CF La Torreta. Barça's own profile describes a player who moved through the academy age groups unusually quickly, standing out for daring dribbling, chance creation and the ability to play across the attack.
He debuted against Real Betis aged 15 years, 9 months and 16 days, becoming Barcelona's youngest first-team player.
Yamal became a regular first-team presence and began stacking club and international age records while still eligible for youth football.
With Spain, he became the youngest player to appear at a European Championship and then the youngest player to feature in a major international final as Spain won Euro 2024.
FC Barcelona announced a contract extension tying Yamal to the club through 30 June 2031.
Barça reported 16 league goals and 11 assists as Yamal helped the club retain the LaLiga title and was named the competition's player of the season.
