Football icon, Cristiano Ronaldo in a recent interview has acknowledged the presence of Barcelona's rising youngster Lamine Yamal backing him up to become one of the greatest player in the history of football. According to Ronaldo, Lamine Yamal at such a young age has done what both he and Lionel Messi did not do when they were his age making him a potential star of his generation in the future.
I see a huge potential, great talent. He needs luck because he is very young and i hope he doesn't get into any problems. He was in a contest (Euro 2024) that helped him a lot, the Spain National team is really good and i think he has a good potential. But lets see during his way what is going to happen but i believe he is going to be among the best players for this generation. - Cristiano Ronaldo
39 year old Cristiano Ronaldo had recently crossed the 900th mark in his goal scoring tally throughout an illustrious career which has put him in the conversation of football's all time greats and with age catching up on him, youngsters like Lamine Yamal would be ever ready to pick it up from whence Cristiano would stop.
Lamine Yamal keeps scoring goals in the Blaugrana colors and in recent times, football fans have backed the 17 year old wonderkid to filling the heavy boots of barcelona's great Lionel Messi, one which would be so difficult to achieve looking at what the former barca key player had done at the club . And just like Cristiano had said, only time will tell if the spanish wonderkid would live up to the expectations of football fans.
