🎙️Arsene Wenger (about the Barcelona 🆚. Villarreal match): “Lamine Yamal is not ordinary talent. He is Barcelona’s next treasure! Let me tell you something… Every 10 or 15 years, a player appears who makes us rethink what is possible in football. Lamine Yamal is one of those rare players. When I watch him, I don’t just see a young talent. I see a mature football mind in a young body. His decisions, his vision of the field, his techniques – all of these are things that cannot be easily taught. This is innate talent. At 17, most players learn the basics of the game. But Yamal? He gives lessons to professionals! I remember when I saw him fool a defender with a feint I haven’t seen since the days of Ronaldinho. This is not normal! Barcelona has found its new treasure. After Messi, everyone was wondering: Who will be the next star? The answer is now clear. Yamal is not just a prospect. He is a ready-made star who is shining today, and he will lead the team for years to come. If they continue to develop him wisely – without exhausting him – he will be the face of Barcelona and football.
Global in the next decade. This kind of talent only comes along once in a generation. I wish he was in our academy at Arsenal but thank God I’m retired now, so I won’t have to defend against him (Laughs)!”
