Villarreal defender Pape Gayé hailed Lamine Yamal after Sunday’s La Liga clash with Barcelona and made it clear just how difficult it is to face the teenager.
Yamal scored another brilliant goal in the match at Montjuic and almost bagged another stunner but was denied by the woodwork.
Gaye spoke about Yamal afterwards and seemed blown away by the 17-year-old’s talent.
“Guys, Lamine Yamal is really good. At one point, he stared at me and I said, ‘Hey, I don’t want to end up on a TikTok edit.’ I backed off right away.
