10 - Lamine Yamal

[serghei]

Great dribbles , should have had an easy assist from that cross to Lewa

Tbh the Raphinha miss was just as bad.

 

[KingLeo10]

Good game by his standards / talent level.

Unfortunately, I don’t think he is a natural finisher. This might cap his impact to Ribery level, which is still amazing ofc.

 

[jormatar]

Not as sharp with his decisions as usual but still had some key passes thrown out.

 

[jamrock]

Hard sell?

 

[Barcaman]

Couldn't follow his man after 60 minutes and looked knackered from then on. At 18.

Few great plays among many wasted but not a disaster.

Flick should have taken him off earlier.

 

[Windhook]

Lamine is our best player. Great technique, but doesn't have the ball glued to his foot like Messi. More like Neymar.

The difference is Lamine at 18 is much better than Neymar ever was.

I dont know about all that.
But he will get there

He is already way better dribbler than Ribery. Finishing ability will come with time.

If he has the career of Ribery that would be considered a huge success

Ribery had better close control, agility and pace/acceleration. The ball was always glued to his feet.

Yamal has a wider array of tricks.

Definitely not a way better pure dribbler than Ribery though who was the 4th best dribbler of his generation.

Ribery was good but cmon, Yamal is better. I'm sure Yamal's technique will get better and better with time, just like everyone.

And Ribery wasn't the 4th best dribbler (Messi, Iniesta, Hazard, Neymar, Robben for example all better).

What is crazy that Yamal now already has that Messi's high standard, so a good performance like this sounds like nothing.

Ribery was a better pure dribbler than Robben and Iniesta.

Ball carrying isn't pure dribbling. While Iniesta is an excellent dribbler too Ribery was better at that - taking players on 1 on 1 directly and beating them. He should be. He's a winger while Iniesta is a midfielder.

Yamal could get even better at dribbling with age. We'll see.
