Robert Lewandowski explains how he wants to help Lamine Yamal at Barcelona

Robert Lewandowski has been talking about his relationship with Barcelona starlet Lamine Yamal and insists he has a “good connection” with the teenager.

The spotlight was on the duo earlier in the season after Lewandowski appeared to refuse a handshake with Lamine, but the Poland international was been full of praise for his team-mate and has explained how he’s trying to help him develop at Barcelona.

“Lamine has played very good football this season, he is a star who is only 16 years old. He probably wants to play 10, 12 or more years in football, I have experience and I want to help him with the mentality,” he told Mundo Deportivo.
