At just 17 years old, Yamal has quickly become a pivotal player for both Barcelona and Spain. His crucial role in Spain’s Euro 2024 triumph and his record-setting achievements have garnered significant attention. Nevertheless, Barcelona is worried about his “excessive prominence” and is concerned he may find it challenging to cope with the spotlight, as reported by Marca. The club is taking measures to help Yamal navigate his rapid rise to fame without becoming overwhelmed.
In his 16 senior appearances for Spain across all competitions, Yamal has contributed to 11 goals—scoring three and providing eight assists—making him the highest-scoring player under 18 in the history of the Spanish national team.
