Zinedine Zidane has hailed Barcelona’s teenage prodigy Lamine Yamal, singling out his electric second-half performance against Inter Milan as one of the most impressive he has ever witnessed.
“Lamine Yamal’s second half against Inter… I’ve never seen anything like it in my life! To see a player with so much control on the pitch is just incredible. We all enjoy watching him,” said the former Real Madrid and France icon.
At just 17, Yamal is becoming vital to Barcelona’s attacking play, regularly influencing big games with his pace, vision, and flair. Talks to renew his contract are already underway, with agent Jorge Mendes revealing plans to finalize an extension before the youngster turns 18 in July.
Yamal’s numbers underline his growing impact: 13 assists, 161 successful dribbles, and 28 big chances created this season alone. These stats not only lead his team but also place him among football’s brightest emerging talents.
While the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona is fierce, Zidane’s praise cuts through, offering genuine respect for a player lighting up the sport.
