If he plays like this next year, I think he will be a player who will make history. Lamine Yamal is one of the few players who excites me after Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. Barcelona is very lucky to have acquired such a player from the youth academy. Also, Lionel Messi was raised from the youth academy of Barcelona. I think these examples show how valuable and good the youth academy of Barcelona is. Also, not only them, many players who are currently at a good level in world football came out of the youth academy of Barcelona. Therefore, playing in the youth academy of Barcelona can be considered the beginning of incredible levels for a football player.
His talent is generational and Barcelona are very lucky to have such a gem in their hands. Yamal is a player that entertains everyone and even if you're not a fan you will be delighted with how he plays and that's why it's difficult to hate on him. At such a young age he can do unimaginable things already that means he is destined for greatness. I just hope he is able to keep up and not get distracted along the way or get career threatening injuries like Ansu Fati suffered.
It's a good thing they were able to renew his contract because he is now an important player for the team. All thanks to Xavi who gave the academy players opportunity to play for the senior team and show what they are capable of doing. Without him most of these players wouldn't have been part of the team yet and some would have already been loaned out or sold out because they were not given opportunity to do that.
