Speaking to the club’s channels, he said: "I think the renewal means that I'll stay at the club of my life, I'll continue enjoying myself and winning, because I'm at the best club in the world.
"I don't feel pressure; I'm at the best club in the world.
"(Lionel) Messi has made his way, I'm going to make mine, and the '10' comes from Ansu anyway. I'll try to make my way."
Asked what coach Hansi Flick's reaction was to him taking the No10, Yamal also said, laughing: "He told me there's a double session tomorrow.
“He congratulated me and told me to go to bed early. My teammates congratulated me."
