Lamine Yamal’s maturity at just 17 years old continues to dazzle the world of football. Asked about the racist insults he suffered at the Santiago Bernabéu, the young Blaugrana did not wish to argue. “At the end of the day, the one on the pitch is me and the one celebrating the goal is also me… If the away fans say four stupid things to you, you don’t have to worry about it. It’s the opposite. If someone tells you this, it means you are doing very well.”revealed Lamine Yamal to Marca.
Having just been named winner of the Kopa trophy, becoming the youngest winner, the Barcelonan already wants to aim higher. Eighth in the general ranking, the 17-year-old winger continues to beat all records for precociousness and would have a dream in mind. Become the youngest Golden Ball in history by beating Ronaldo Nazario, winner in 1997 at 21 years and 96 days old. Perhaps next year, if Barça continues its excellent momentum.
