A photo of a youthful Lamine Yamal has resurfaced online to leave fans stunned. The Barcelona star is making waves, already regarded among the world's top players, despite being just 17.

He's often the youngest player on the pitch when he plays but a picture of him playing for Barcelona's youth side has re-emerged with the teenager looking even more of a fresh face. The picture is from a game where Barcelona tore apart Real Madrid - leading 4-0 before the half hour mark.

And Yamal, who has continued to strike against Real, will only have just become a teenager when the snap was taken. When the Covid lockdown was first imposed the Barcelona star was only 12. One fan said: "Wild, I now feel old" whilst another added: "Time travels so fast".

Just three years later and the winger would make his Barcelona debut. He came off the bench for the first on April 29 2023, replacing Gavi late on against Real Betis in La Liga. He walked onto the pitch at the age of 15 years, 9 months, and 16 days. In doing so Yamal became the youngest player to feature for Barcelona since Armando Sagi in 1922 - more than a century before.

Now Yamal is a La Liga winner, a Euro 2024 champion and recently claimed the first Copa del Rey of his career. In just a months time the Barcelona star could add another Spanish title and the Champions League with the Catalans in the semi-final.
