big panic around Lamine Yamal!
FC Barcelona have expressed serious concerns over the meteoric rise of Lamine Yamal, a 17-year-old prodigy who has quickly established himself as a key player for the Catalan club and the Spanish national team.
Shining at Euro 2024, where he helped Spain win the title, Yamal has broken several records for club and country. However, according to BrandBarca fear that the player's growing fame will become unmanageable, and are working to ensure that he is not overwhelmed by his success.
Despite only celebrating his 17th birthday in July, Lamine Yamal is already being tipped as a potential future Ballon d'Or winner, including by Cristiano Ronaldo and former Barcelona striker Gary Lineker. While he is among the nominees for this year's edition, he is still considered an outsider for the award.
On the other hand, he is a serious contender for the Kopa award, rewarding the best player under 21.
Yamal's rise to prominence has been accompanied by impressive performances. With three goals and eight assists in 16 appearances for Spain, he holds the record for most goals scored by an under-18 player for La Roja. Returning to Barcelona after the international break, he has four goals and one assist in four games this season under Hansi Flick. Barca now prepare to face Girona in La Liga.
