Lamine Yamal has big dreams: "I would like to be remembered as a Barça legend," declared the young FC Barcelona prodigy, making clear his goal of leaving a lasting mark at the club that has shaped him. At just 17, his bond with Barcelona is so deep that, beyond his performance on the field, Yamal aspires to become an eternal symbol of the institution. "Thanks to FC Barcelona, I am who I am. They have given me everything," stated the forward, who sees the club as his home and the jersey as an extension of his identity. 

Starting the season in spectacular form, Yamal has scored five goals and provided seven assists in only 13 matches, positioning him among LaLiga's most influential players in this early stage. His skill in breaking down defenses and his tactical maturity have led many to compare him to some of the club’s greatest legends, and Yamal himself doesn’t hide his admiration for Neymar and Messi, two of his idols. However, he seems to be forging his own style, characterized by speed, precision, and relentless confidence in his game.

That confidence, fueled by both his talent and his family's support, is evident in his direct approach against defenders. "I usually look at the fullback and go all in. It’s a feeling I’ve never had before," Yamal shared, describing the drive that pushes him to give his all in each duel. For him, it feels as if his mother were right there, encouraging him to overcome every obstacle.

His humility and family values are also crucial to his growth as a person and a player. "The most important thing in a person is to be as your parents raised you. That shows who you are," Yamal said. Despite his meteoric rise, he remains grounded and shows a maturity that is rare for his age, which even stands out in a team full of stars. 

Yamal’s next big challenge will be the Clásico against Real Madrid, where he will try to shine on a grand stage. This match will be a unique opportunity for him to demonstrate his character in a high-stakes contest, bringing him one step closer to his ambition of leaving a lasting legacy at Camp Nou.
