At just 17 years old, Lamine Yamal is the future but already the present of FC Barcelona. The brand new European champion with Spain, crowned best young player in the competition, continues to break records for precocity. Of course, it will be necessary to settle his future at the club and quickly extend it under penalty of having to transfer him, but the winger puts everyone in agreement. Well, almost everyone. For Ronald Koeman, he needs experienced players at his side, like Mbappé at Real Madrid.
“In many areas, Madrid is superior to Barça. I know that Barça has a lot of youngsters like Lamine, Pedri or Gavi, but it needs people like Mbappé who make a difference in every way. If you don’t have those types of players or someone like Messi… Lamine at his age is impressive, but you have to give him time and peace of mind. There is only one Messi in the world, we won’t see another in the future“, assures the Dutch technician, a regular follower of FC Barcelona news.
