Yamal dribbles past players like it’s the PlayStation and he makes defenders look like cones, he has such a high ceiling, he could become even better than Messi. Messi won eight Ballon d’Ors, Yamal will have motivation to go even further, he’s a joy to watch.
In the previous season, Yamal played a total of 55 matches across various competitions, showing impressive results with 18 goals and 25 assists.
With Barcelona, the winger won the La Liga title and also secured the Cup and Supercup of Spain. Additionally, alongside the Spanish national team, Yamal reached the final match of the Nations League.
