Lamine Yamal is having another tremendous campaign with Barcelona, even though he has suffered a couple of ankle injuries.

Despite Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha outperforming Yamal this season, the 17-year-old has still been a crucial part of Hansi Flick’s attack, especially from a creative point.

So far this campaign he has scored nine goals and provided 12 assists, and considering we are only in January, having over 20 goals and assists at such a young age is very impressive.

Yamal has also started to receive plenty of praise from current professional players, with some of the best footballers in the world reiterating how talented he is.

In a recent interview, cited by Managing Barca, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer has raved about the young Barcelona forward.

“Lamine Yamal? He’s 17. Mad innit… I didn’t really see much of him last season but when we played against him in the Euro final. Like just to watch him… (he’s) mad, he’s so good. It’s just crazy.”

Like Yamal, Palmer had a massive breakthrough campaign last year and they have both continued to prove this season that young players can also be the best players in the world. 

Hopefully, the two youngsters have very long, injury-free and successful careers at their respective clubs.
