Barcelona’s rising football prodigy, Lamine Yamal, marked his 18th birthday with an extravagant celebration attended by 200 guests and vibrant live performances. Turning 18 on July 13, Yamal’s milestone birthday not only signifies a personal achievement but also paves the way for him to sign a lucrative contract in Catalunya, a deal that has been anticipated for some time.
Adding to the weight of this momentous occasion, Yamal is set to inherit Barcelona’s iconic No.10 shirt, previously worn by the legendary eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi.
The birthday festivities began with an intimate gathering at La Cúpula restaurant in Garraf, where the young talent was joined by 20 close family members and friends. The celebrations escalated in the evening at a private estate in Olivella, where despite a slight weather-related delay, Yamal hosted an impressive party with 200 attendees, including notable Barcelona teammates such as Pau Víctor, Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Pau Cubarsí, and Marc Casado.
True to tradition, Yamal cut his birthday cake and blew out the candles precisely at midnight, marking a memorable start to adulthood. After a summer filled with leisure and festivities, Yamal is expected to focus on the upcoming 2025-26 season, where he aims to contribute to Barcelona’s title defenses and pursue World Cup success with the Spanish national team.
