Barcelona manager Hansi Flick offered some words of advice for Lamine Yamal, who is set for his third full season as Barcelona’s teenage superstar.

Yamal finished a spectacular campaign that made him a true Ballon d’Or contender, and the expectations will be massive as the soon-to-be 18-year-old looks to improve on what already was one of the best seasons by any player in the world in 2024-25.

But his coach doesn’t want him to get complacent. Speaking in an interview this week, Flick reiterated the importance of continued growth from a physical and mental standpoint for Yamal, and Hansi believes a player for Lamine’s talent needs to work as hard as possible to fully realize his potential.
