The performance of Lamine Yamal with FC Barcelona, extraordinary for his age (17) put the entire football planet of agreement. Folles comparisons between him and Lionel Messi are also established by the octuple Ballon d'Or itself.
“It's impressive what Lamine Yamal shows (…)
He has already been European champion with Spain. He is only 17 years old, he is growing and he will continue to progress and enrich his game, as I did ”said the Argentinian a few weeks ago at the microphone of the “Simplemente Futbol” YouTube channel.
Once again, the Spanish international shone in the quarter -fourth go from the Champions League against Inter Milan. Author of a sublime goal, the Iberian prodigy made an impressive copy. However, Lamine Yamal could quickly be robbed of the show. Within the rival club, another young player caused a sensation. It is the young Arda Güler, 20 years old. Little used by Carlo Ancelotti, the Turk is gaining momentum at the end of the season. He still distinguished himself this weekend against Celta Vigo by scoring a goal and delivering a decisive pass.
A Madrid better than Lamine Yamal?
Arrested at a press conference on the state of form of his player and on the reasons for the low use of Turkish, Carlo Ancelotti indicates that his player has changed a lot since the start of the season. “It is clear that the September Güler is not the Güler of today, he has changed a lot. His physical profile has also changed, he is much stronger and he always has the same quality. It was a completely normal and natural progression for a young Real Madrid player ”said the Madrid coach. The latter then indicated that he could claim a holder's place during the next Clasico: “Arda Güler can clearly play against Barça, he will apply for a place in the eleven”.
In view of Güler's performances, the media do not hesitate to compare it to Lamine Yamal. By parallel the statistics of the two players, the newspaper AS Recalls that Deda Güler has played a total of 121 matches, scored 24 goals since his arrival at Real Madrid in 2023 while Lamine Yamal scored 26 by playing 3356 minutes more than the Turk. A form of rivalry would therefore be created between the two players.
