Lamine Yamal whirls and, at 17, conjures up like only a few stars in the present and past. The youngster apparently not only gets shoulder tapper from his colleagues.
FC Barcelona is currently in a dazzling mood. The Hansi Flick team leads the league and is in the cup final and in the Champions League quarter-finals. Youngster Lamine Yamal, who reminds many fans of Lionel Messi with his spectacular dribbling and goals.
In particular, the lightness and carefree with which the 17-year-old hovers across the square is simply impressive. His colleague Pedri is also impressed by this, although he apparently has to get Yamal back on track from time to time.
Pedri and Lamine Yamal form Barca-Zauberduo
“I tell him that he should continue as before and that he should continue to have fun. Even if you sometimes have to pull him on his ears … but that’s okay,” joked the 22-year-old after the cup success against Atlético Madrid about the relationship with his team-mate.
Pedri warns his Barca colleagues: “Are not unbeatable”
Evil does not mean his words about Yamal, of course, especially since the Catalans surf on a wave of euphoria anyway. Nevertheless, the Spaniard warned his colleagues against losing grip.

Yamal counters criticism from HSV legend
Lamine Yamal recently had to listen to a few unsightly words from Rafael van der Vaart. “I noticed some things at Lamine who are slowly disturbing me. He pulled his pants too far, does not really hang up … If you are so young, you should be happy over every minute you play for Spain,” complained the ex-HSV star after the Nation League first leg between the Netherlands and Spain (2: 2) in Dutch TV.
In the second leg, Yamal returned with a goal in the extension, demonstratively pulled his pants down at the goal celebration and mocked van der Vaart on Instagram.
