Yamal's secret

Lamine Yamal asserts that he plays basketball for enjoyment, and his only wish is to make the audience feel entertained while watching.

Yamal is playing sublime football.

At 17 years old, Yamal is taking all of Europe by storm. On May 1st, Yamal scored a spectacular solo goal and hit the crossbar twice in Barcelona's 3-3 draw against Inter Milan in the first leg of this season's Champions League semi-final.

After the match, Yamal was asked by legend Thierry Henry to exchange shirts, an act of admiration. But it was the witty reply from the 17-year-old that truly won him over. Yamal said, "I'll give you my shirt if you give me yours." Henry laughed, nodding in approval at the cleverness and charm of the young Spanish talent.

When asked about the secret to his explosive performance, Yamal didn't mention tactics or pressure, but instead stated: "I just want to play basketball for fun. Every time I step onto the court, what I think about is how to make the audience excited to watch me play. I haven't achieved anything yet; there's still so much to strive for."

At the age of 17, Yamal played 100 matches for Barca, scoring 22 goals and providing 33 assists, winning all three domestic titles: La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. He was also honored as the best young player at Euro 2024, playing a major role in Spain's victory.

The 2025/26 season is still long with two big goals ahead: the Champions League and La Liga. But if they continue to play with their current spirit, Yamal could absolutely touch the hearts of millions of football fans around the world .
