Messi Gives Yamal the Number 10 – A Cartoon Tribute to a New Era

I just finished a new cartoon celebrating a symbolic moment at FC Barcelona: Lamine Yamal receiving the legendary number 10 shirt — from none other than Lionel Messi himself… rising from a baby tub! 🛁👑

The idea came to me with all the buzz about Yamal taking over the No.10. I imagined a funny, almost magical moment: Yamal looking at the famous baby tub he once sat in, and suddenly Messi appears out of it to hand him the iconic shirt. A legacy passed from Maradona, to Ronaldinho, to Messi — and now to Yamal.

The video ends with Yamal celebrating the honor with his family, reminding us how football legends are made… sometimes in very unexpected (and funny) ways.

Hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed drawing it!
