The incredible numbers behind Lamine Yamal’s record-breaking no.10 jersey opening day sales | OneFootball

An insight into the sales numbers racked up by La Liga giants Barcelona following the unveiling of Lamine Yamal as the club’s new no.10 has on Friday been provided.

The info comes courtesy of the reliable Culemanía, and confirms that the jersey has been nothing short of a hit.

The subject of wide-man Lamine’s shirt change has of course dominated the headlines in Catalunya’s capital over the last couple of days.

This comes after the 18-year-old saw his status in Hansi Flick’s squad recognised by way of an iconic new squad number.

Following in the footsteps of the likes of Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi, Lamine has taken on the responsibility of Barcelona’s no.10.

Jerseys featuring the player’s name and number officially went on sale across the globe this past Wednesday.

And safe to say, the numbers have since been nothing short of staggering…

As per the aforementioned Culemanía:

‘Lamine Yamal’s new Barça number 10 shirt set an all-time sales record in the first few hours. On its first day on sale, it exceeded all expectations, with around 70,000 units sold.’

It is therefore concluded that ‘revenue from Lamine shirts alone could reach around €10 million after the first day of distribution’.
