Emmanuel Petit, a former midfielder of the French and London "Arsenal" teams, shared his thoughts on the future of 17-year-old wing defender Lamin Yamal from the Catalan team "Barcelona". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to Petit, Lamin defeats his opponents as if he is playing in a computer game, and his level is already high. He emphasized that Yamal could become an even better player than Lionel Messi in the future.
While Messi has won the "Ballon d'Or" award eight times, Lamin is constantly striving for improvement. In the 2024/2025 season, Yamal played in 55 matches, scoring 18 goals and providing 25 assists.
This year, he is considered one of the main candidates for the "Ballon d'Or" award. According to Petit, his high motivation and skills could lead him to become one of the best players in the future.
