By winning El Clasico vs. Real Madrid, Barcelona are the 2025-2026 LaLiga champions. With just six points remaining, ‘Los Blancos‘ can’t even come close to ‘Los Cules‘, sealing the deal and helping Lamine Yamal to reach his third league title, putting him steps above Lionel Messi at the same age.
This means Lamine Yamal has three LaLiga titles at age 18. That is more than Lionel Messi, who won his first LaLiga title at 18, which means Lamine Yamal’s legacy is arguably going at a faster pace.
Yamal has scored 16 goals so far this season, with 11 assists. Hence, he has been a key component for Barcelona this year. This means Yamal comes in good form for the upcoming 2026 World Cup.
How many titles Yamal has won with Barcelona compared to Messi at age 18?
Yamal might have more league titles at age 18 than Messi, but overall, Messi had some other silverware that Yamal doesn’t have. A LaLiga, a Champions League, and a Spanish SuperCup were part of Messi’s titles.
Leo Messi of FC Barcelona
For Yamal, he has more, with three LaLigas, a Copa del Rey, and a Spanish SuperCup. However, the Champions League Messi won is arguably worth more than the titles Yamal has won.
Lamine Yamal is arguably forging a huge legacy in Barcelona
Yamal has been a star ever since he stepped up into the scene. Being so young has allowed Yamal to get more LaLiga titles from an early age. Messi however, did plenty that Yamal hasn’t done. From Champions League to Ballon D’Ors, Yamal has ways to go.
