He is the big sensation of this start of the season in Europe. At just 16 years old, Lamine Yamal has established himself in the rotation of FC Barcelona and is one of those players whose potential seems limitless. Author of one goal and two assists in La Liga so far, in 9 days, the winger first revealed himself in the lower categories. Rafa Márquez knows him well.
The coach of FC Barcelona Atlétic (3rd division) also spoke about the Yamal nugget and its explosion in the eyes of the general public at the start of the 2023-2024 campaign for MD. “He belongs to that group of gifted boys who have this innate talent and who, regardless of their age, compete in any category and make a difference. Ronaldinho, Messi… Lamine can be next. He has all the qualities. Obviously we have to take care of this process because he is still a child”says the Mexican legend, visibly optimistic for the Blaugrana.
