Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka praised Barcelona young man Lamine Yamal, calling him “Unormal” Given that he accomplished an amazing feat at the age of 17.
Bukayo Saka’s admiration for Yamal stems from the amazing performance that the young Spaniard has shown since breaking into the first team.
Although he didn’t celebrate his 18th birthday until the summer, Yamal has made 100 appearances for FC Barcelona.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Saka said in awe, “He is the highest. Honestly, doing things he is at his age, what can you say, he is not true.
“It’s not normal. No one will do that. I don’t think I’ve seen a 17-year-old, so I’m going to appreciate him.”
Yamal’s abilities are fully demonstrated in the exciting Champions League semifinal against Inter Milan, where he played a role in the fascinating 3-3 draw, which further made him one of the smartest talents in world football.
It is worth noting that Yamal’s career trajectory has put him ahead of legends Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
By achieving 49 total goals and assists in his first 100 games, Yamal surpassed Messi, who reached this milestone at the age of nearly 21, earning 55 contributions.
In stark contrast, 19-year-old Ronaldo has scored just 26 goals and assists in his professional game, highlighting Yamal’s outstanding performance in his early career.
