This is not the first time that Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his admiration for Lamine Yamal. A few days after citing the Barça player as one of the future candidates for the Ballon d’Or, the Portuguese star has once again made strong words. During an exchange with Rio Ferdinand on his YouTube channel, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner acknowledged that the 17-year-old player was doing things that neither he nor Messi had been able to achieve at the same age.
“I see in him a huge potential and a great talent. I hope he will not have physical problems.confided the Portuguese. It’s true (that he does things that he and Messi did not do). Lamine is in a context that helps him a lot, the Spanish team is really good and I think he has a lot of potential. But let’s see what happens along the way. I think he will succeed and he will be one of the best players of this new generation.»
