Lamine Yamal, a Barcelona sensation, has described who the best player of all time is, but someone else is the source of his own skill on the field.
His success wearing a Barca shirt was exemplified at the Bernabeu in October during the Catalans’ crushing of bitter rivals Real Madrid in the El Clasico match. Fans have been captivated by Yamal’s abilities with the ball at his feet, but his quick ascent in football has also translated to the fashion industry.
Yamal revealed some of his major influences and the players he looks up to in the game in a recent interview with Highsnobiety about his foray into the fashion industry.
“[Lionel] Messi is obviously the greatest of all time and someone I always enjoy watching, but my idol when I was younger was Neymar because of his way of playing and his style,” he explained. “I’ve watched all his videos, and he inspired me to try new things on the pitch.
“As for fashion, I like it, and I pay attention to it, but I try to create my own style. I like wearing a bit of everything and mixing things up.”
Yamal wore special edition custom braces during Barca’s huge win over Madrid – donning blue and red gems designed by fashion brand Twojeys.

“I like the details and unique designs in jewellery,” he continued. I try to make sure all the accessories I wear have an important meaning to me. As for TwoJeys, I like that they’re bold and create new things.”
Yamal made sure to outline his dreams in a Spain shirt, admitting that he hopes to achieve success with his nation.
“I feel really good and eager to achieve important things with Barca and the National Team. I’m aware that I’m very young, just starting out, and that I have many things to improve and keep learning.
