Lamine Yamal is changing football…

This is the story behind Lamine Yamal, footballs latest superstar. The young wonderkid already has Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi talking about his future. And so, is he destined to replace these footballing greats and win the Ballon D'or following his Champions League & La Liga form off the back of this EURO 2024 win?

Yamal has said on many occasions that he tries to be most like Neymar and that Neymar's playstyle is his daily inspiration on the pitch. It's clear within seconds of watching him play that this is true. Some of the things Yamal does at his age remind me of Neymar at Santos more than anything Messi ever did, and that's obviously not a slight on Messi, it's just an acknowledgement of the differences between Neymar and Messi. When messi played as a right-winger, that was mainly by name only, since he used the wing as a starting to point to cut inside and do the magic that we know him for. Neymar dominated the sideline, abusing his quick feet and skill on the ball to humiliate defenders. Lamine Yamal enjoys hugging the sidelines, nutmegging or outsmarting defenders in 1v1 or 1v2 situations, rather than orchestrating entire attacks from the inside. So it's clear which one he should really be compared to, if we're going to do that.

I just don't think we'll ever see someone like Messi again. He had the ability to beat defenders like neymar or hazard, but he also dictated entire attacks on his own and created chances the way you'd expect from a skilled midfielder like Pirlo or Iniesta. And the transition between those two roles was so seamless that you'd often see him do one after the other in the same attack, seconds apart. And on top of that, he also had the awareness of a world-class poacher, finding space between defenders the way CR7 or Lewandowski has mastered. Messi was all of these things, and did all of these things for 60+ minutes of every single game that he ever played for Barcelona. He is undisputedly unique and we will all be talking about the latest wonderkids in 2060 comparing them to messi because we all hope, deep down, that messi isn't the first and last of his kind.

I hope he won't get injured. Bcs. I don't think there is something else, that can stop him from becoming a GOAT

This is well produced, needs more views!

This kid is so special. He’s about to reach his g/a tally by December. He isn’t even 18 yet and it’s just the beginning

[Samson]

This kid is making all Barca fans happy and to see that he’s only going up is amazing

[eL--RaL]

The kid's football isn't measured by statistics.. He's a pure footballer, a magical player..his dribbling skills, playmaking skills, creativity, passing and decision making are insane for a 17 year old.. Generational talent 🪄🔥

Damn, Nice video bro. Great transitions and edits

[mottahead]

Lamine Yamal is proof that lightning can indeed strike twice at the same spot .
Actually three times if we count Messi and Ronaldinho.
Wait a minute : 4 times .... if we then add Rivaldo.
5 times if Romario is included ?
6 if Ronaldo Nazario is added to the list of greats?
Lamine Yamal is proof that greatness in the form of amazing players happens frequently at Barcelona F. C.

Lamine Yamal will make the number 10 role popular and common again. We’re already slowly seeing the rise of them in musiala, Palmer, olise, etc. Lamine will bring it to a whole other level. If Neymar was born later, it would have been him

[BlackGold]

Superb editing, great research, engaging elocution and intriguing topic.👍

[MassimilianoPisoni]

Best active player over all ages !! not just his contributions to the stats but his mindset on the pitch 'on and off' the ball, all his micro decisions and movements are a complete work of art and genius. He IS football

[DB-kl]

The fearless makes him even more comfortable playing football with players who are older than his father

[DMcomps]

This is crazy, he is going to become the best player in the world

[NeoDrizel]

What a wonderful video, he surely one to look out for. He is going to be one of the greats.

[MemeFnatic]

I think Yamal thrives off the hype unlike the previous people who folded under it.

[captn_maverick]

Generational talent. As a Barca fan this season is such a bloom. However I’m very afraid of Barca overplaying this guy, not resting enough and him getting an injury.

[jishanali]

What makes Yamal special that Messi was introduced as 'cherry on the cake' bt Yamal's debut was necessity for Barça...
