Lamine Yamal’s sublime 2024–25 season saw his stock rise not only in real life, but also in the virtual world with the EA Sports FC franchise.
This year’s version of the game played by both soccer and video game fans all over the world is set to be released later in the month. The ratings of the top 26 men’s and women’s players in the game were revealed ahead of release with Yamal making his first appearance amongst the world’s best.
The teenager built on an exciting 2023–24 season and delivered an exceptional campaign during Hansi Flick’s opening act as Barcelona manager. Yamal led La Liga in assists and spent the vast majority of the past year going viral for his magical moments on the pitch, which helped guide the Catalans to a domestic treble.
With Yamal continuing his meteoric rise to becoming one of the best players in the world, it was obvious that he merited a major boost in FC 26.
