The Spanish national team's talent Lamine Yamal is an extremely important player for the Barcelona team not only because of his unparalleled performances on the field but also due to the revenue he generates.

Deciding to change his number from 19 to 10, he earned a lot of money for the Catalan club and even broke the daily sales record.

However, in the Spanish national team, Lamine Yamal continues to wear the jersey marked with the number 19.

According to the publication AS, the young talent is forced to comply with the unwritten Spanish rules.

In "La Roja," the desired number can be chosen by a player who has played more matches in that position with the national team, so Lamine Yamal (25 matches) is forced to yield to Dani Olmo (50), who has no intention of parting with his favorite number.
