Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has lavished praises on teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, declaring him the best winger in the world at just 17 years old.
The 36-year-old Polish striker Lewandowski, who recently broke Lionel Messi and Thierry Henry’s Barcelona 100th goal record, is impressed by Yamal’s rapid rise to prominence.
The youngster has already made 59 appearances for Barcelona, scoring 11 goals and providing 14 assists.
Additionally, he’s been making waves at the international level having earned 17 caps for Spain, netting three goals.
Meanwhile, Yamal’s impressive start to his career has caught Lewandowski’s attention, who believes the teenager has already established himself as the finest winger globally.
What Robert Lewandowski Said Concerning Lamine Yamal
In a recent interview with B/R Football, Lewandowski joined Cristiano Ronaldo to express his admiration for Yamal’s talent and potential.
Lewandowski said: “Of course. Now it will be easy to say, of course I see him as the best winger in the world. But of course, he is 17 years old.”
The former Bayern Munich legendary forward emphasized the importance of longevity and the vast years still ahead of Lamine Yamal.
He added: “A football career is so long, sometimes it’s not important how you start, what’s more important is how you finish or how will be the next years, not two or three years but the next 10-15 years. And in the next 15 years, he will be 32.”
Lewandowski, who has experienced the pressures of professional football, offered words of wisdom to Yamal, stating: “I wish for him that he will be strong for a long career… that he stays grounded and thinks, ‘This is part of my life, the football I want to enjoy, I want to give the fans a lot of happiness in the end’.”
An endorsement from the great Lewandowski himself serves as a testament to Lamine Yamal’s exceptional talent and potential for greatness.
Yamal is determined to achieve lasting success and is on track to become one of the most influential players of his generation, following in the footsteps of legends such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
