At 18, Yamal Surpasses Cristiano's La Liga Titles, Despite Ronaldo's Nine Seasons at Real Madrid

Lamine Yamal has clinched his third Spanish championship title. The 18-year-old Barcelona footballer, currently sidelined with an injury, celebrated another league triumph last night after the Catalans defeated Real Madrid in El Clásico, securing an unassailable lead at the top of the table.

In light of this achievement, "Gazzetta dello Sport" drew an interesting comparison: with his third La Liga gold medal, Yamal has now surpassed superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the Spanish top flight twice with the Royal Club. The Portuguese goalscorer lifted the Spanish championship trophy in 2012 and 2017. The new darling of the "Blaugrana" faithful, meanwhile, has been crowned champion in 2023, 2025, and 2026.
