Lamine Yamal is only 17, but he is already a key player for FC Barcelona. He helped the club win La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup this season. Many football legends believe he is the next big name at the club.
Luis Suarez, a former Barcelona striker, spoke about Yamal recently. He said Yamal shows great maturity for his age. Suárez praised how the young player takes responsibility in big games.
Speaking to DAZN, Suzrez gave advice, saying the young star should enjoy playing and keep learning from every match.
“Lamine… is showing maturity at an early age compared to others. He shows great maturity at the age of 17,” Suarez said about Yamal. “He takes responsibility when he participates… and he has challenges that he imposes on himself as a Barcelona fan. I am very happy for him… (but) he has to continue to enjoy himself and continue to gain experience… to continue to improve.
“There are still things he needs to learn… (but) He is marking an era and making a big difference.”
Yamal scored 18 goals and had 25 assists for Barcelona. These numbers are impressive for any player, especially one so young. He was a big part of the team’s success under new coach Hansi Flick.
He also played for Spain in the UEFA Nations League. Even though Spain lost in the final, the Barca youngster stayed confident. He talked about wanting to help Barcelona succeed in Europe again. This shows how focused he is on improving.
David Silva, a former Spanish midfielder, also praised Lamine. He said the teenager is doing amazing things on the pitch. Silva was impressed with Yamal’s confidence and control of the game. He hopes the young striker continues to play for Spain for many years.
“Lamine (Yamal) is amazing,” Silva said while talking about Yamal’s potential, via Barca Universal. “At his age, he’s astonishing the football world…The things he’s doing, and the self-confidence that he has… It’s incredible. Let’s see if he keeps it up, (because then) we can keep him in the national team for a long time.”
Lamine Yamal’s name is also getting attention in Ballon d’Or talks
Some people are already talking about Yamal as a Ballon d’Or candidate. His coach for Spain, Luis de la Fuente, said he deserves the award. But there is strong competition from other players like Ousmane Dembélé.
Luis Figo, a Ballon d’Or winner, spoke about Yamal too. He said the Barca star could win the award in the future. Figo pointed to Lamine’s hard work and strong performances this season.
“If he continues working hard like he’s doing and playing like this – (he can win Ballon d’Or) in the future, for sure.” Figo said.
Yamal is not letting the pressure affect him. He is staying grounded and working hard. That is one reason why so many legends are speaking highly of him. So far, he has won many trophies. He has already won La Liga twice, plus the Copa del Rey and Super Cup. He also helped Spain win the UEFA Euro title.
What makes Yamal special is not just his skill. He plays with confidence and maturity beyond his age. He stays calm in important games and keeps learning every day. This is the reason why, football legends like Suarez, Silva, and Figo agree that Lamine is special. They believe he is starting a new era at Barcelona. If he keeps working hard and stays focused, he could become one of the best players in the world.
For now, Yamal is doing all the right things. He is helping his team, learning from others, and staying humble. Many people are excited to see what he will do next.
