The FC Barcelona prodigy has been called up for the Spanish selection for the first time.
The crazy ascent continues for Lamine Yamal. At only 16 years old and not even two months old, the young FC Barcelona winger was called up for the Spanish team for the first time.
This summons puts an end to the international soap opera as far as he is concerned, because the new Catalan prodigy could also opt for Morocco, via his father, or Equatorial Guinea, via his mother. He will therefore continue to wear the jersey of Spain, as he did in the youth categories.
Lamine Yamal has only four La Liga matches on the clock. He was a starter for Barça’s last two meetings, and has just delivered two assists in the victory of Xavi’s men against Villarreal (4-3).
The other lesson from this list of Luis de la Fuente is the summoning of Abel Ruiz, the Braga striker, former part of the selection hopes.
