  In the first match of the 2024–25 La Liga season on 18 August 2024, Yamal assisted Lewandowski to help Barcelona equalize against Valencia before Lewandowski converted a penalty in the second half to help the match end 2–1. In the following match against Athletic Bilbao on 24 August, Yamal scored his first goal of the season in another 2–1 victory. On 19 September, Yamal scored his first UEFA Champions League goal, netting the equalizer in their 2–1 loss to Monaco, during the inaugural matchweek of the newly formatted Champions League league phase; in the process, he became the second youngest scorer in Champions League history at 17 years and 68 days, behind teammate Ansu Fati, who scored at 17 years and 40 days on 20 October 2020.
  
  On 26 October, at the age of 17 years and 105 days, Yamal became the youngest goalscorer in El Clásico history when he scored the third goal in a 4–0 victory against Real Madrid, surpassing the record of his teammate Ansu Fati who did so at the age of 17 years and 359 days in October 2020. During the match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Yamal and his Barcelona teammates Ansu Fati and Raphinha were targeted with racial abuse by a group of home supporters. On 2 February 2025, he completed 21 dribbles against Alavés, breaking Lionel Messi's record from 2007. On 30 April, Yamal made his 100th appearance for the club in the Champions League semi-final first-leg against Inter Milan. He scored the first goal in a 3–3 draw and was praised by Inter manager Simone Inzaghi, who called Yamal "a phenomenon born every 50 years."
  
  On 11 May 2025, Yamal played a pivotal role in Barcelona's 4–3 comeback victory over Real Madrid at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. After trailing 0–2 due to an early brace from Kylian Mbappé, Barcelona responded with goals from Eric García, Yamal, and a brace by Raphinha. Yamal's goal, a curling shot into the bottom corner, leveled the score at 2–2 and was instrumental in shifting the momentum of the match. The victory marked Barcelona's fourth consecutive Clásico win of the season and brought them within one win of clinching the La Liga title.
  
  At 17 years old, Yamal's performances during the season led to widespread claims by pundits and players that he is the best player in the world. He is often debated as one of the favourites to win the Ballon d'Or for the season. On 27 May 2025, Yamal extended his contract with Barcelona, tying him to the club until 30 June 2031. The Athletic reported that Yamal's contract could potentially reach a value of $45.3m per year gross, including wages, bonuses and contract fees, making him one of Barcelona's top-paid players.
