My Take
I try to resist hype around teenage footballers, but Lamine Yamal makes restraint impossible. Born in 2007 and already a fixture for Barcelona and Spain, he plays with a calm that veterans spend careers chasing — receiving the ball on the right wing, inviting pressure, then curling something outrageous into the far corner. The 2024 Kopa Trophy felt less like a prize than a formality. What I admire most is the joy in his game; he still plays like the kid from Esplugues de Llobregat that he is. If his body and his head hold up, I genuinely believe we are watching the start of an era.
