Football legends surrender to Lamine Yamal

Despite being only 17 years old, Lamine Yamal has ceased to be a promise and has become a reality. Night after night, the star of FC Barcelona dazzles the football world with his talent, establishing himself as the 'darling boy' of football legends, who shower him with praises whenever they have the chance.

At the Globe Soccer Awards gala held in Dubai, several historic players expressed to the microphones of 'Mundo Deportivo' their admiration for the Blaugrana star. The first of them, the former captain of Manchester United, Rio Ferdinand. "I love this player. I’m going to take a picture with him and give him a hug," the Englishman began saying about the '19' player, before making statements that will not go unnoticed.

"I have never seen a player like him do what he is doing at his age, and we will not see it again. At this age, and with this impact in matches, not even Messi had done it. I love this player"

Later, Fabio Capello, former coach of Real Madrid and Milan, among others, stated that "Lamine is the future, an important future for Spanish football, for Barça, because he has a lot of quality. Hoping he continues as Messi did. I hope it will be so".

Two former Blaugranas also surrendered to Lamine

Similarly, Miralem Pjanic, former player of Barça and now playing for CSKA Moscow, left a brief but strong message to Yamal, with whom he never shared a locker room. "He is a star, a phenomenon, and I wish him the best," said the Bosnian.

Finally, Gerard Piqué, an absolute legend of Barça, surrendered to Lamine, although he was also cautious with his statements. "He is a young player, who has a lot of potential, it’s hard to set a ceiling for him, he still has to grow a lot, but what he is demonstrating is at the level of very few and he needs to be taken care of and at the same time, as the years go by, we should demand a little from him, for now, calm. Let him give us a lot and let’s see how he evolves," concluded 'Geri'.
