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.

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.

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.

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.
