After their victory in the Barcelona derby on Thursday (2-0), Barça has officially won the 2024/2025 Liga.

The key player in this title win, Lamine Yamal, has amazed us with his extraordinary moves and his ability to elevate his teammates. He has made the impossible seem normal.

To help you realize this even more, we're offering you 5 mind-blowing stats about the Catalan prodigy's season.

2 like CR7 in 9 years 👑

At just 17 years old, Yamal has already won as many Liga titles (two) as Cristiano Ronaldo, who played nine seasons in Spain with Real Madrid. Moreover, the Spanish international is the only player to have lifted the trophy twice before turning 18.

42, that's more than three times Rooney 😰

Lamine Yamal has scored a total of 17 goals and provided 25 assists this season, making him decisive 42 times. In the U17 category over a season in Europe, he's doing better than... himself last year (24) and is crushing the competition. To give you an idea, the next best are Bojan Krikic (17) and Wayne Rooney in 2003 (12).

2029, only... 22 years old 🤯

Given his extraordinary talent, we can't help but look to the future. In 2029, Yamal will be only 22 years old and will still be eligible for the Golden Boy award, which recognizes the best young player of the season. A strong favorite this season, the European champion could be among the candidates for six consecutive seasons, even if the jury usually chooses a new name each year.

180 million, that's 18 times Vini 🤑

Estimated to be worth 180 million euros today, according to the specialized website Transfermarkt, Yamal is obviously the first player to reach such a value at his age. What's even crazier is comparing him to other stars. At his age, Neymar, who was shining in Brazil, was worth 1 million euros, Vinicius 10 million, and Jude Bellingham 27 million. Crazy.

Eligible for 6 youth competitions 😅

2 U19 Euros (2025 and 2026), 2 U20 World Cups (2025 and 2027), 2 U21 Euros (2025 and 2027)... that's what the current talents of the 2007 generation are looking forward to. The 2024 European champion, Lamine Yamal, will be with La Roja for a World Cup and a Euro, all before celebrating his second decade.
