⚡ DEFINING MOMENTS

▲ 2023 · A boy among men
Promoted from La Masia, he made his Barcelona debut at 15 and by season's end was the youngest goalscorer in the club's history and the youngest ever in La Liga, drawing comparisons he was in no hurry to earn.
▲ 2024 · The goal that beat France
In the EURO 2024 semi-final he cut inside and curled a 25-yard shot in off the post to level against France — at 16 years and 362 days, the youngest scorer in the history of a major tournament, a record long held by Pelé. Spain won 2–1 and went on to lift the trophy.
▲ 2025 · The No.10
He inherited Barcelona's celebrated No.10 shirt, the youngest player in the club's history to wear it, and reached 100 La Liga appearances younger than anyone before him.

THE ALMANAC SPEAKS
PROF. INKSWORTH:

A left foot wise beyond its years and a knack for the grand occasion — he won a EURO before he could legally drink. The archive notes, with some interest, that the 2026 finals are the one stage he has yet to set foot on.

  • His EURO 2024 strike against France made him the youngest scorer at a major tournament, ending a record that had stood to Pelé since 1958.
  • He reached his Barcelona century in La Liga younger than any player before him — and was handed the club's storied No.10 while still a teenager.
  • For all the records already in the cabinet, the World Cup is new ground: 2026 will be the first he has ever played.
