Lionel Messi left a hole at Barcelona that no one else can fill. He was the best player ever, and his team won everything for 15 years. In the history of sports, nothing like this has ever happened.
It was also clear that Barcelona was having trouble playing the way they did before the Argentine came on.
They were sent to the Europa League for two years in a row. They beat Napoli in the round of 16 this year and made it to the playoffs.
A lot of people were interested in Lamine Yamal, who is 16 years old, during this game. All season, he’s been a big star. This year is very important for the young player, and he is already one of the best in Europe at what he does.
It looks like Yamal will be moving up to the senior team for next season. Catalunya Radio said in a story that the push might require a lot of work. SPORT told other people about this.
According to the news, Yamal could wear shirt number 10 when he gets promoted next season. Of course, Messi had it on before him.
There are only three spots on the first team left right now: #12, #24, and #10. Yomal could do any of these things or just wait for other people to leave so there are more spots.
But a lot of people don’t want Yamal to be in 10th place at Barcelona. Some people think that’s too much for a player who isn’t even an adult yet.
Alessio Fati has been the #10 since Messi left. Right now he is on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion. Even though it doesn’t have much to do with the number, that’s not a good sign.
People have said that Alonso, Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen, Raphinha, and Oriol Romeu might leave the team. This means that the numbers 11, 18, 23, and 17 could become available.
