Barcelona's largest No. 10 as Yamal inherits iconic shirt


It took a long time, but the Laliga master Barcelona has finally announced that her free No. 10 shirt will be worn by Lamine Yamal next season, with the amazing young wing player inheriting one of the most famous squad of all football.

Barças No. 10 born a litany of sizes, and a few more are struggling under weight; Fantastic gifted star names like Juan Román Riquelme and Jari Litmanen both fell on their full skills while they were most important Blue gran Jerseys.

Ansu Fati was the youngest resident of Barça No. 10 shirt after he inherited it from a Lionel Messi in 2021-22, but the young striker has set his progress through inconsistent form and fitness and has since left the club as Monaco to clarify the way for a new resident of the jersey.

And so the coat falls to the 18-year-old Yamal, who has already proven to be a rare talent, to take his place among the real heavyweights that this shirt has made over the years.

Here we have an overview of the 10 best players who regularly wear No. 10 shirt in Barcelona, since the designated Squad number system was introduced to Spanish football at the end of the 1940s. This is how the roster is stacked that there was not even space for playmakers Ghorghe Hagi, striker Gary Lineker and even heroes Evaristo of the 1950s, all of whom have to get by with an honor.


1. Laszlo Kubala

Probably the very first superstar, who regularly occupies Barcelonas worshiped No. 10 shirt. Kubala was the Hungarian Association, which fled as a refugee from his homeland and landed in Catalonia, where he adopted the worshiped Blue gran Jersey in 1951. The powerful striker, who is lovingly known as “Big Head”, scored 194 goals (a number that still brings him to fifth place in the club's club) and won 14 large awards.

2. Luis Suárez

No, not The Luis Suárez (he was wearing No. 9 shirt). Luis Suárez Miramontes was a contemporary of Kubala and was often used in the second half of the 1950s as skillful inside. The Spanish international turned out to be a central part of this barça team, which was occupied by stars, that in 1960, a year earlier, when he took the club to turn to Inter Milan, he was awarded the Ballon d'Or.

3. Diego Maradona

After Maradona had proven to be an early talent during a lifting year in Boca Juniors, he immediately received the jersey No. 10 when he signed 5 million pounds for a world record transfer fee of 5 million pounds after the 1982 FIFA World Championship in Spain. The dazzling striker spent two injuries in Camp Nou, and while his goal decline was impressive (38 goals in 58 games in all competitions), his temperament and behavior were constantly questioned.

After the 1984 Copa Del Rey final against Athletic Club from 1984, there was a bad conclusion when Maradona angry with several opponents and ultimately sealed his premature outcome of Barça with a fall. He went to join Napoli, where he spent the best years of his career and sealed his place among the best players ever by led Argentina to the World Cup in 1986.

4. Michael Laudrup

While perhaps not the most striking or Mercurial of Barcelonas No. 10S, Laudrup is still worshiped by Purists as one of the most permanent and equipped central midfielder who have ever played the game. After the Danish star had liked his references to Juventus, he was lured in Camp Nou from the prospect of playing under his idol, Johan Cruyff, and quickly became an important part of the “Dream team”, which was put together by the legendary Dutch coach.

In the early nineties, Laudrup won nine large awards in five seasons, including four Laliga titles and a European Cup before making the controversial decision in 1994 to leave Real Madrid to Real Madrid.

5. Pep Guardiola

After the 20-year-old Guardiola came through the La Masia Academy in Barcelona, she received the regular status of the first team for the 1991/92 campaign and, although he was supposedly a deep central midfielder, was with the jersey No. 10 saddle. Unfortunately, the youngster was not able to score a single goal with the weighty number on the back and was soon exchanged for a more appropriate squad number (No. 4) the following season, with Guillermo Amor, which is stripped of attack, in the numerical break for 1992-93 and 1993-94.

6. Romário

After Romário scored goals in the Netherlands in the Netherlands for fun with PSV Eindhoven, he signed for Barcelona in 1993-94 to lead the attack line of Cruyff's Dream Team Ensemble alongside Hristo Stoichkov, Laudrup and José Maria Bakero. The Brazil international scored 30 goals in 33 games to end Laliga's top shooters, while Barça galloped on the title of the league. However, his turbulent relationship with Cruyff was soon determined, and a incomplete second season ended prematurely when Romário organized a shock to Brazil with Flameng in mid -January 1995.

7. Hristo Stoichkov

Another important member of the Dream team from Cruyff, who was wearing the shirt No. 10, hit the Bulgarian Titan Stoitchkov in Camp Nou, the best form of his life under the Dutch and had defenders in all of Europe, who crouched in his maraudating presence, while he was five Laliga, the Europa Cup and the Ballon Trophele Balcelona as well as another domestic and continental trophies during his two tensions during his two tensions during his two tensions, and in his two tension in the Barda Title and in his two -person work during his two tensions.

8. Rivaldo

Rivaldo is one of three former Barça No. 10 in the top 10 of the club's hit list, with the brilliant Brazilian with 130 goals together with Samuel Eto'o with Samuel Eto'o. The versatile striker was decisive in two consecutive Laliga title victory for Barça in 1997-98 and 1998-99 and even won the Ballon d'Or from 1999 in recognition of his virtuoso match winner.

Oddly enough, Rivaldo only took No. 10 shirt in the 2000-01 season (after he had previously played as No. 11). While Barça was something in the league in the league and did not win a trophy, the Brazilian enjoyed the most productive season of his camp nou at times by falling 36 goals in 53 games.

9. Ronaldinho

Ronaldinho was exuberant, exciting and always entertaining and born the number 10 shirt in Barcelona for five years between 2003-04 and 2007-08. The jersey was inherited directly from Riquelme, who, although he was one of the great playmakers of the modern game, fought his step to Barça in 2002/03, and was consequently undressed.

Ronaldinho has more than recorded the gap, with a number of extravagant performances that quickly earn the Brazilian praise among fans – even Real Madrid fans who applied him after a particularly magical individual performance in one in one in one in one in a sanfness of Santiabéu Clásico 2005, in which he won the balloon d'Or.

10. Lionel Messi

While Messi is the most fateful shirt number for Barças, it took three years to get there. First, No. 30 and then number 19, before he finally dealt with the first team of Pep Guardiola for the club's first team for the 2008/09 campaign.

What happened afterwards was a flash in a bottle with gates that stimulated that the recordings were smashed, the trophies piled up and Messi quickly rose to goat status. Messi won 34 titles as Barça player before going to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2021 as the top scorer of the club and Laliga in the summer of 2021. As Iconzus 10s, it was quite a plot to follow; Just ask the poor Ansu Fati.
