The Barcelona number 10 shirt has been worn by legends. From the earlier years, legends like Maradona, Romário, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, and Messi have donned the prestigious shirt.

The baton has now been passed to Lamine Yamal, who has emerged as the latest recipient of the prestigious number, which has a heavier value than just the number.

The number 10 shirt at FC Barcelona is one of the most iconic in football, worn by some of the game’s greatest players.

Lionel Messi, the longest No. 10 Recipient at Barcelona

Lionel Messi has been by far the longest to wear the number 10 jersey at the Blaugranas. The Argentine donned the number for 13 years, and left it after his departure in 2021 to PSG. Messi's 672 goals in 778 appearances stand out as unparalleled, as the Argentine has etched a plethora of memories during his illustrious stay at the Spanish club.

Yamal, who has signed a new deal at the club, has the role of maintaining the legacy at the club. The 18-year-old has penned a new deal, which will keep him at Barcelona till 2031.

Before the 1990s, squad numbers in La Liga were often assigned per match and tied to positions (number 10 typically for an attacking midfielder or forward). This makes it challenging to pinpoint exact wearers for early decades. From 1995, La Liga mandated fixed squad numbers, making records more reliable.
