Little spared by injuries, Barça’s number 10 has been a little less brilliant since the start of the season. In addition to this relative period of less success on the field, the 18-year-old prodigy is really annoying for the numerous extra-sporting controversies in which he is involved.
In Spain, voices are beginning to be raised to criticize him. This is particularly the case of a Spanish journalist who sent a strong message to Luis De La Fuente by simply asking him not to call up the number 10 of FC Barcelona for the 2026 World Cup. “I wouldn’t take him to the World Cup!” What he is doing is a complete lack of loyalty to Spain,” he quickly blurted out. Comments which should make many observers react and which should not be appreciated by the person concerned.
“It won’t last long”
Runner-up to Ousmane DembĂ©lĂ© in the rankings for the France Football 2025 Ballon d’Or, Lamine Yamal stands out as the present and future of world football. However, some observers say they have doubts about its ability to perform over time and for several years.
Former La Roja coach from 1992 to 1998 Javier Clemente did not fail to charge the Catalan winger. “As a player he is very good. But he does not behave properly in his personal life. It won’t last long. He does brilliant things, but his opponents already know how to counter him. It won’t be as spectacular as what we’re seeing so far,” he blurted out on the set of Cadena Ser.
