The prodigy catches the eye at the start of the season. In addition to bluffing everyone, Lamine Yamal is now expected around the corner and has been a starter in Xavi’s eyes for several weeks. The Catalan technician seems under the spell of the 16-year-old virtuoso on whom he can count now but also for the coming weeks.
Asked about the new Spanish international, Xavi was very complimentary and plans to take care of his new diamond: “In principle, Lamine is curious because three weeks ago you told me that I didn’t dare put him on and now you tell me that he should rest. We will take care of him, pamper him and treat him like one of us, even if he is 16 years old.»
