Cristiano Ronaldo will face Lamine Yamal for the first time in the UEFA Nations League final

Ronaldo, who was praised by the Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simon before the final of the UEFA Nations League, also laughed comparisons between him and Lamine Yamal, whom he believes that he should be compared to players of his generation.

“Cristiano has always opposed this or that, I'm used to it. These are different generations, one begins and the other ends. They should compare Lamine to Vitinha, which is closer (of his generation). But that there is no problem, I stay with criticism. In reality, it is a selection against another. But I understand, the media heat the game, it's normal. What I want above all is that Portugal is at a good level and wins, against a team that is probably the best in the world. »»

Ronaldo believes that Lamine Yamal should not win the Ballon d'Or

Lamine Yamal is considered one of the favorites for the Ballon d'Or 2025, but according to Ronaldo, the young man should not win the trophy; He believes that he should rather be awarded to a Paris Saint-Germain player.

“Individual awards are no longer unanimous; I can't say anything about who should win. In my opinion, those who stand out and win the Champions League should win. But there is no consensus. I do not believe much about individual awards, because I know what's going on behind the scenes. Lamine could win, like Dembélé or Vitinha, other promising players … But individual awards have no importance. »»
