A couple of words of warning for those who will take advantage of Lamine Yamal's performance in Spain's UEFA Nations League final defeat to Portugal to put the kid down because they think he's been overhyped: Firstly, pound for pound, he is still significantly the best footballer in the world, a genuine phenomenon and worthy of the description "budding genius." Secondly, this guy is made of the same extraordinary stuff, the same resolute "I'll show you!" determination and drive that made Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo such legends.
Yamal has Messi, Ronaldo mentality. He'll be even better in 25-26
