Lamine Yamal has shined from a young age and is now on the same level as Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior, according to the Blaugrana legend.
Barcelona legend Rivaldo has hailed Lamine Yamal’s impressive displays, believing the 17-year-old Barcelona forward is on the same level as Real Madrid duo Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.
‘He’s a great player. I admire him because he has a great personality. Even though he’s young, he’s already at a very high level. I think he’s at the same level as Mbappe and Vinicius.’
‘From his personality, I think he has a lot to show. He has a lot to go.’
‘You watch Yamal and you see him playing with joy, enjoying his football. If you consider the fact that he has already won the Euros, that makes him a different player for the future. I believe so,’ Rivaldo said.
The Brazilian legend also spoke about Hansi Flick’s strong start to the season at Barcelona, adding: ‘In a big club like Barca, everything depends on performance. It’s true that Flick’s Barca are playing very well, but there are still many championships ahead.’
‘So many champions, so many leagues, so many trophies ยูฟ่าเบท, I’ll be careful and wait until the end of the season.’
However, Rivaldo also passed on his experience to the current Barca boss, saying: ‘In Barca, it’s only worth reaching finals and winning titles. If you don’t win titles, the fans and the media will question you.’
‘But I still think Barca are different to last season and I think they have everything they need to win big trophies, but you have to wait.’
