vReal Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger has lauded Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal for his outstanding contributions to the team, highlighting the 17-year-old’s remarkable performances. In a statement shared via Fabrizio Romano’s X handle, Rudiger expressed admiration, stating, “What Lamine is doing is ridiculous! You have to give him credit. He plays for Barcelona at 17, and what he did at the Euros… I hope he stays healthy; he has a brilliant future.”
Rudiger further remarked, “It’s pretty scary what he’s doing, to be fair!” Yamal has already made a significant impact with 61 appearances for Barcelona’s first team, contributing 26 goals—12 goals and 14 assists. His crucial role in Xavi’s squad last season and his part in Spain’s success at Euro 2024 underscore his talent.
The young winger has continued to shine this season under Hansi Flick, boasting 10 goal contributions in just 10 matches. As excitement builds, Real Madrid is set to host Barcelona on October 26, 2024, in a clash as they defend their La Liga title at the Bernabeu.
