Yamal made his Barcelona debut at the age of 16. Whether under Xavi or Hansi Flick, the Spanish midfielder has been an irreplaceable figure. This season, Yamal has scored 5 goals and provided 7 assists in just 12 La Liga appearances.
Not only playing well at club level, Yamal also made his mark on the Spanish national team. At Euro 2024, he became the youngest player to score in the history of the tournament, at 16 years and 362 days. In addition, the Barcelona midfielder also contributed 4 assists and helped Spain win the championship in a worthy way.
Recently, Sportskeeda quoted midfielder Paul Pogba's comment about Yamal: "Lamine Yamal is cool. He's played very well, from the Euros until the beginning of this season. He's the best young player in the world. Can you imagine what will happen when he wins the Champions League this year?
Playing alongside Yamal, Lewandowski said he was impressed from the first time he saw him training. “The first time I saw Lamine Yamal training, he was 15 years old,” he said. “I have seen a lot of talent in my life, but never to the point where I said: ‘Oh my god, this is amazing. How can he do that at that age? I swear it is impossible.’”
With impressive performances, Yamal has just won the Kopa Award - Golden Boy 2024. However, clearly with great potential, the Barcelona midfielder is expected to be the leading candidate for the 2025 Golden Ball race.
