The new king ascended the throne! Barcelona No. 10 player, who is the real Camp Nou King?

Yamal became the 66th player in Barcelona's history to wear this legendary number. In the locker room of Camp Nou, this jersey once belonged to Maradona, Rivaldo, Ronaldo and Messi, the most dazzling genius cluster in football history.

From Maradona's brief glory to Messi's mythical era, the No. 10 jersey witnessed Barcelona's most glorious chapter and also carries the most profound expectations of world football.

1. Maradona

In 1982, Maradona joined Barcelona with a world-record price of 5 million pounds, injecting the king's genes into the Red and Blue No. 10 for the first time.

Although his years at Barcelona have been intermittent due to injuries and bad fouls by his opponent, King of Football Maradona still scored 38 goals in just two seasons. Although Maradona's time in Barcelona was as short as a meteor, it left an eternal mark. He helped the team win the Copa RE, La Liga and Super Cup, showing his talent to change the game.

2, Rivaldo

When time came to the turn of the century, another South American genius took over Barcelona's No. 10 jersey. Rivaldo, who joined in 1997, wrote his own Golden Ball legend at Camp Nou.

During his five years at Barcelona, Rivaldo scored 50 goals in 86 appearances. His technical characteristics are distinctive, his shooting ability is extremely strong in combining man and ball, and his shooting is efficient and practical.

In 1999, he won the double honors of the European Golden Ball Award and the World Footballer for his extraordinary performance, and he also helped Barcelona win two La Liga titles and the European Super Cup.

Despite the openness of tactical differences with coach Van Gaal, his contribution to the winger position is still memorable.

3. Ronaldinho

In 2003, Camp Nou welcomed the football elf. Ronaldinho's five years wearing the No. 10 jersey was the five years when Barcelona regained the top of Europe.

He played in 207 games and scored 94 goals. His magic not only illuminated the Camp Nou, but also illuminated the road for the younger generation. When 17-year-old Messi first entered the first team, it was Ronaldo's support that allowed Argentine geniuses to grow rapidly.

"King of Camp Nou" Ronaldo won the World Footballer (2004, 2005) for two consecutive years at Barcelona, and won the Golden Ball Award in 2005. He led Barcelona to win two La Liga titles and the 2005-06 Champions League championship, opening up Barcelona's "Dream 2" era.

4. Messi

On August 3, 2008, Barcelona officially announced that the No. 10 jersey welcomed a new owner - Messi, who was 21 years old at the time. No one expected that this started the greatest solo performance in football history.

Messi, who is wearing No. 10, created eye-catching statistics: 668 games, 630 goals and 192 assists.

He led Barcelona to win 3 Champions League, 7 La Liga titles, 6 Cups of Kings' Rey and other 27 championship trophys. In terms of personal honors, Messi won the Golden Ball Award 7 times at Barcelona and won the European Golden Boot five times.

From the six-time champion in 2009 to the second triple-time champion in 2015, Messi defined Barcelona's golden age. Even if he goes far away from Miami, he is still the eternal legend of Camp Nou.

5, Fati

When Messi left Barcelona in 2021, the No. 10 jersey was unexpectedly handed over to Ansu Fati, who was only 18 years old at the time. This "Messi successor" who was once highly anticipated has embarked on a thorny road.

Fati was shrouded in injury after his 10th year in Barcelona. He suffered 10 injuries in his career, and had a total of 515 days of injuries and missed 84 games. Despite 80 appearances from the 21/22 to 24/25 season, his development was much lower than expected.

But this Spanish genius occasionally showed his strength. In 2022, he played against Real Sociedad in a substitute and contributed 1 goal and 2 assists within 16 minutes, giving people a glimpse of his talent buried by injuries.

However, now, Fati has become Barcelona's hot yam. He wants to sell it and cash, but no one takes over it. It is a pity that a generation of geniuses has fallen to this point.
