Lamine Yamal Matches Cristiano Ronaldo’s La Liga Title Tally in Just Three Seasons

Yamal’s consistency and maturity have made him a key figure in the Barcelona team as the youngster has delivered consistently.

At just 17 years of age, Lamine Yamal has written his name into the history books. With Barcelona’s triumph in the 2024–25 La Liga season on Thursday, the teenage sensation now boasts two La Liga titles to his name, equalling the tally of Cristiano Ronaldo during CR7’s nine-season spell at Real Madrid.

What makes Yamal’s feat even more remarkable is the pace at which he’s achieved it. While Ronaldo claimed La Liga glory in 2011-12 and 2016-17, Yamal has matched that in just his first three seasons as a senior player, lifting the trophy in 2023 and 2025. Yamal delivered the decisive blow in Barcelona’s title-clinching win, a brilliant left-footed goal in a 2–0 derby victory over Espanyol. It was his seventh of the season and arguably the most significant of his young career.

Lamine Yamal’s Meteoric Rise

Yamal’s growing collection of silverware already includes:

2 La Liga titles (2023, 2025)
1 Copa del Rey
1 Spanish Super Cup

Yamal’s meteoric rise has been nothing short of extraordinary. From making his debut at just 15 years old to becoming one of the cornerstones of the Barcelona squad, his impact has been monumental. Many doubted whether Barcelona could replace the void left by Lionel Messi. Yamal hasn’t just filled that gap, he’s become the new star fans were hoping for. Under Flick, he’s flourished, contributing consistently with goals, assists, and moments of brilliance that defy his age.

Cristiano Ronaldo will always be remembered as one of the greatest to grace the game, but Yamal’s rapid rise signals the emergence of a new icon, one who’s rewriting records and redefining expectations.
