Bayern Munich’s midfield general, Joshua Kimmich, has showered praise on Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, revealing that the 17-year-old has completely changed his viewing habits.
“Usually, I focus on Bundesliga and Premier League,” Kimmich said, “but now I make time for every Barcelona match just to watch this young genius. He’s electric.”
Kimmich described Yamal as having rare talent, recounting a moment when the youngster’s dazzling dribble left him so stunned that he called a friend in disbelief. What impressed Kimmich most wasn’t just flair—but maturity. “He plays like he’s been a pro for over a decade,” he said.
Even in Bayern’s locker room, Yamal is a hot topic. “We all talk about how a 17-year-old can have such a football brain,” Kimmich added, predicting that Yamal is destined for legendary status if he stays on course. He even placed him alongside Messi and Ronaldo in terms of early impact.
For Kimmich and many others, Yamal isn’t just a rising star—he’s a once-in-a-generation phen
omenon.
