Luis Suarez has hailed 17-year-old Lamine Yamal for playing with the calm and focus of a seasoned professional, backing the young star’s rapid rise in European football.
The former Barcelona striker praised Yamal’s mental strength, especially in high-stakes matches, calling him a standout among his peers.
“Lamine is a player who is showing maturity at a young age compared to others,” Suarez said. “It shows great maturity at the age of 17.”
“Lamine Yamal assumes his responsibility when he participates in important games and has challenges that he himself imposes.”
Yamal’s growth has been remarkable. He helped Spain win the European Championship and played a key role in Barcelona’s recent trophy runs. His calm under pressure and sharp decision-making have earned him praise from legends and fans alike.
Suarez, who knows what it takes to shine on big stages, encouraged the teenager to stay grounded. He hopes Yamal keeps enjoying his football while gaining valuable experience along the way.
