19 - Lamine Yamal

[vegitot]

Neymar was the poster boy of Brazil football when he was at Santos. So sure he would gain a lot attention from media and thing like Ballon Dor. He finished in top 10 in 2011 for example.

Yamal also likely finishes in top 10 this year. At 17 years old (for what he did at 16 actually).

Neymar also had a strong Confederations Cup win in 2013 which contributed to a boost in Bdor ranking. But he was 21 back then, 4 years older than Yamal. Would bet Yamal will have a golden ball by then. And will be interesting to see where Yamal ends up in the ranking 2024, surely top 10.

Current Yamal has fewer rough edges compared to that Neymar, perhaps it's an effect of being adapted to European football.

Fucking hell, was the 2013 Confederations Cup really 11 years ago already? Neymar was 21 as you say.

It seems like yesterday. I was 31. I remember looking forward to that tournament, Man of Steel and The Last of Us which all came out a few days apart that summer.

In the same timespan I will be 53. That is fucking terrifying.

Relax, you might be dead.









(53 doesn't sound too bad now does it)

Thanks for the confidence boost

 

[Nello]

Excited to see what this kid can do tonight

 

[Andresito]

How press resistant is this kid holy shit.

This game he's not providing a lot in final third but he is helping the team immensely in keeping possession. Hope he can have a great goal or assist in 2nd half.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

If we get pressed, give this kid the ball, his dribblings to open space is absolutely terrific

 

[delancey]

Fuck yeah 🎉🎉🎉🎉

 

[delancey]

That assist was from Yamal. What a player spotting that opening.

 

[mc_lovin]

Do people still think he’s slow?

He looks comfortable as fuck now.

 

[MagIX]

What a talent

 

[El Ilusionista]

Alphonso Davies’ worst nightmare

 

[te amo barca]

Had Davies and other Bayern players on ropes all game. Cracking player and also not selfish, a real team player. Should have had another assist.

 

[iniestaGOAT]

Neymar the master, lamine student.
Cooked Munich.

 

[FCBfan22]

No words needed for this kid.
