Lamine Yamal makes 'trade' deal with Thierry Henry as ex-Arsenal star sets up meeting with Barcelona youngster ahead of next Clasico clash with Real Madrid

Real Madrid

<p>Yamal has been setting the world alight since his emergence as a 16-year-old winger with Barcelona, however, his 2024-25 season has seen him rise up as a world-beater. Under Hansi Flick, as a part of their stupendous front three alongside Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, the 17-year-old has shown the understanding and brilliance of a veteran to complement his burst of pace and his overall skillset.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>On Wednesday evening, Yamal had one of his best games in a Barcelona shirt as the Catalan side drew 3-3 with Inter Milan, as he ran the Serie A side's defence ragged and also scored a spectacular goal after a solo run. After the game, Henry revealed to Yamal that he was going to watch Barcelona's La Liga Clasico against Real Madrid and wanted his jersey for his son, who is a big fan, which prompted the Spaniard to encourage a trade deal with the Arsenal legend that would see him get one of Henry's shirts.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>During Yamal's interview on CBS Sports, Henry said: "I am coming to see El Clasico [later this month]. I am coming to watch the game. Can I get your shirt for my son, please?</p><p>Yamal responded, "Then we have to do a swap, and you have to give me your shirt," which prompted Henry to ask him, "The Barca one is the one you want?"</p><p>Yamal then said he was okay with "Barca, Arsenal, whatever you want."</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The Lamine Yamal and Thierry Henry moment you didn’t know you needed ❤️<a href="https://twitter.com/MicahRichards?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MicahRichards</a> is invited as well 😂 <a href="https://t.co/PnRbMWAiQq">pic.twitter.com/PnRbMWAiQq</a></p>— CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) <a href="https://twitter.com/CBSSportsGolazo/status/1917710623774831041?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 30, 2025</a></blockquote>
