Manu Carreño: “Lamine Yamal is the best player in the world at the moment”

FC Barcelona continues to bring the euphoria of goals after the Spanish Super Cup, obtaining its second ‘manita’ in just three days. Five goals, a breathtaking performance, and assured qualification for the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, to the detriment of a Betis team which suffered against a raging Barça. Gavi opened the scoring, Koundé could have scored twice without the intervention of VAR, and Ferrán Torres found the net once again in the Blaugrana jersey. However, the name that really shone during this match was undoubtedly Lamine Yamal. At just 17 years old, he shows a maturity in his choices that has nothing to envy of many seasoned players, controlling the tempo of this Barça team with fascinating dribbling and precise passing. Manu Carreño evaluates the player’s performance during the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey, just before the start of ‘El Larguero’. “Lamine Yamal is undoubtedly the player of the moment. I don’t know if he is the best in the world. I don’t know if he will win the Ballon d’Or, but it seems that all the awards for the best young player are already too small for him He is already evolving in another dimension, that of the big ones. He is the player who defines, who dribbles, who makes the supporters get up from their seats, and who everyone wants to see. is a spectacular player.”
