He reminds me of Messi on the right wing. Every time he touches the ball, you can see that he generates danger. He usually attracts two or even three opponents to his zone, which opens up spaces for his teammates. That's why Barça are so dangerous.Petit told Spanish outlet AS.
Lamine Yamal is 18. He debuted for Barcelona’s first team in April 2023 at age 15. With the club he has won two La Liga titles, the Copa del Rey and the Supercopa de España. With Spain’s national team he became a European champion.
