It's not a question of talent, Luis Figo surprised by Lamine Yamal for this reason
After another scintillating performance for FC Barcelona against Real Madrid, Lamine Yamal is impressing more than ever. After José Mourinho, another Portuguese player has fallen under the spell of the young Catalan prodigy, Luis Figo.
For the former Real Madrid player, more than his explosiveness, it is his maturity on the pitch that stands out: " What surprises me is not his talent, but the calm and personality he exudes at his age. At that age you don't think about responsibilities, you just want to have fun, " he analyzed for La Gazzetta dello Sport. Luis Figo goes even further, believing that his teammates should take an example from him: " They should learn from him how to handle pressure ."
The young prodigy is having a crazy season at just 17 years old, scoring 16 goals and providing 24 assists in all competitions. Under Hansi-Flick, he has established himself as an absolute staple on the right wing, even embodying the image of FC Barcelona all by himself. As he inches closer to a hat-trick with his club, Lamine Yamal has also already proven his worth at the international level with 4 goals in 19 appearances for Spain. Last season, the Catalan star was named the world's best young player by winning the Kopa Trophy.
