Manchester United legend left amazed by Barcelona prodigy – ‘Not seen anything like him’ | OneFootball

Another game, another masterclass – Lamine Yamal continues to exceed expectations with each performance.

It is common to see young players emerge and become important figures for their teams, but for a 17-year-old to already be at this level is something extraordinary.

On Tuesday, Lamine’s role in Barcelona’s first two goals had 40,000+ fans at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on their feet, along with countless viewers watching from home.

The teenage sensation got the ball rolling with a stunning assist for Raphinha’s opening goal before finding the back of the net with an absolutely magical strike to make it 2-1.

Yamal’s exploits left former Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand astonished, who did not hesitate to praise the Barcelona sensation on social media.

“Lamine Yamal – not seen anything like him in my lifetime at this age – no one is doing what he has done at the same level with such consistency,” wrote an absolutely amazed Ferdinand on X.

With his goal and assist on Tuesday, Lamine now has 12 goals and 17 assists from 37 matches across all competitions this season.

Despite still being at the beginning of his career, Yamal has already delivered performances so impressive that, if Barcelona secure major trophies this season, he will undoubtedly be a future Ballon d’Or contender.
