FIFA president Gianni Infantino has openly praised Lamine Yamal, hailing the young FC Barcelona prodigy as an extraordinary talent who, in his view, deserves to feature in the upcoming Club World Cup.

The youngster’s tally of 18 goals and 25 assists, alongside standout performances in all of Barça’s key matches this campaign, helped the club secure the Spanish Super Cup, Copa del Rey, and La Liga titles, as well as a place in the Champions League semi-finals.
