It started with a simple Instagram story. Lamine Yamal, FC Barcelona’s 17-year-old prodigy, showed his followers the dyeing process that would turn his hair from its natural dark shade to a bright blonde reminiscent of Neymar’s legendary style from years gone by.
Fans were quick to draw comparisons, and some believe this tapered fade streaky highlights vibe might signal a new chapter in the young player’s already promising career. The Brazilian came to match his exuberant attention-grabbing shades with his dynamic personality both on and off the pitch.

He’s no stranger to the spotlight, but this latest revelation arrives just as Yamal continues an impressive season. In 21 matches so far, he’s tallied six goals and 12 assists. Those numbers are part of why Barcelona is depending on him in the Spanish Super Cup semifinal against Atlético Madrid.
Given Lamine’s new Neymar look, will we see some extra flair on the pitch at the Brazilian’s first match with the Blaugrana?
