Yamal dethrones Messi and Ronaldo, sets record in jersey sales

Lamine Yamal is confirming his status as the new star of world football, not only with his performances on the field, but also off it.

In the eyes of the sports public, the Barcelona talent is increasingly seen as the successor to the legendary Messi-Ronaldo duo, competing directly with names like Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland for the podium of the best players in the world.

Although the trophy haul is still long, 2025 is ending as an extraordinary year for the Spanish striker. Yamal has achieved a significant record: his shirt is the best-selling in the world.

According to data published by "SportBible", a full 1.32 million fans have purchased the 18-year-old Barcelona player's jersey, placing him at the top of the global sales rankings.

In second place is Lionel Messi, with the Argentine legend having sold around 40,000 fewer shirts. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo has suffered a significant drop, ranking only in seventh place.
