Perhaps Ferran Torres is jealous because if it wasn’t for Yamal’s emergence, he might be seeing more of the pitch, but calling for him to be banned feels a bit harsh…
Okay, Yamal’s Barcelona team-mate might’ve been saying this tongue in cheek, but the ex-Manchester City ace – like us all – is still amazed at the standards the teen has set himself.
When asked what he makes of Yamal, Torres told The Guardian: “He should be banned. What this kid is doing at 16 years of age!”

‘We have to pamper him’ – Dani Carvajal
There is also a fear that the hype around Yamal could end up causing problems in the long run.
In a bid to stop that from happening, Real Madrid and Spain skipper Dani Carvajal has urged his compatriots to ‘pamper’ him.
Carvajal claims: “We have to look after him, we have to pamper him a lot…
“There have been many cases in football of young players who at 20 years old didn’t give any more, and we also have to have a certain patience with Lamine Yamal and look after him so that he marks an era.”

‘I hadn’t reached puberty yet’ – Gary Lineker
As a former player for Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona and even Japanese side Nagoya Grampus, Gary Lineker has pretty much seen it all in football.
Or at least that’s what you’d think, with the 1986 World Cup Golden Boot winner admitting Yamal’s emergence has left him ‘mindblown’.
In an interview with The Guardian, Lineker said: “I hadn’t reached puberty yet, it’s true, I’m not lying. I used to hide in the showers…
“Lamine Yamal blows my mind. To do the sort of stuff he is doing at his age is incredible.”
