19 - Lamine Yamal

[Iniesta Ultra]

Fucked up, risking long term health at such young age. Are we going to dope him up next week too?

LT wants dat cortisone shit 💉🩸

100 games at 17 is insane. Let's hope the team signs someone to rotate with next season, otherwise we're going to run him into the ground.

need him healthy for all big games.

Inzaghi: "Lamine Yamal will obviously be a player under special observation in the second leg."

 

[Windhook]

When my friends, none of them Barca fans, discuss Lamine this morning it means one thing to me - he's one of the best on the planet. Didn't have this feeling for so long, maybe 15 years, the Messi unstoppable 2008-12 period. And they hated Messi for being this good, being a Barca player, not their club's.

 

[Xaviniesta]

He reminds me of those slick Moroccan/North African players you see on YouTube—there’s definitely that same kind of flair in his DNA

You can see shades of Adel Taarabt/Ben Arfa in the way Yamal plays. Like I can picture Yamal doing a lot of the same stuff in this video for example:

But what sets him apart (so far) is his decision-making. He’s not just flair; he knows when to use it and plays for the team. Unlike a certain Brazilian ball-hogger

The two actions in the first half, the goal and the shot off the crossbar, pure peak Neymar level. I think he is dangerously close to peak Neymar at 17, quite insane how good he is.

He cooked Mikhytarian at his goal with just a drop of a shoulder. Nobody else can do that.

If he develops a shot other than that left footed curler from outside/just inside the box....it's game over for Europe.

We will have a Neymar 2.0 and a certified all-time great.

Barcas best and most important player.

What he brings no one else can get close to replicating.

He really is. If he keeps this up he is gonna define an era and retire full of trophies and glory.

 

[MonteCuler]

He has surpassed peak level of many estabilished top footballers this season, on pure performance level

Mbappe and Vini were never this good, and it's no bias it's just that Lamine has more to his game

 

[JamDav1982]

Still think Barca will evolve to him being given more freedom to get central more and head towards a LW that can stretch game for him but few years away yet unless Raphinha wants out... Raphinha could even fit at AM in that scenario anyway.

 

[jamrock]

The real question is, wether he's better than peak fati when he just broke through.

The answer is No obviously.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Prime Messi is a lvl above him but he is on prime Ney level (or will be soon), absolute stunning considering that he is only 17, his development will be interesting 💯

 

[Porque]

If Lameen moves centrally then who comes onto the right?

We would then need to sign two wingers, unless somehow Diarra or Toni become the man. But both of those look like they will eventually succeed centrally too.

I think it's best to keep Lamine on the right for as long as possible, until his productivity is so outstanding to move him centrally like when Messi moved.
