Cristiano Ronaldo has once again expressed his admiration for Lamine Yamal, the Barça player.
Is the Real Madrid legend praising a future Barça icon? After recently mentioning Yamal as a potential future Ballon d’Or winner, Ronaldo stated that at just 17 years old, Yamal is achieving feats that neither he nor Lionel Messi accomplished at that age.
« I see in him enormous potential and great talent. I hope he doesn’t have any physical issues, » the Portuguese said. « It’s true (that he’s doing things that neither he nor Messi did). »
« Let’s See What Happens Along the Way »
« Lamine is in an environment that helps him a lot; the Spanish team is really very good, and I think he has a lot of potential. But let’s see what happens along the way. I believe he will succeed and become one of the best players of this new generation. »
