Lamine Yamal

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.

Lamine Yamal Nasraoui Ebana (born 13 July 2007) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right winger or right midfielder for La Liga club Barcelona and the Spain national team. Widely regarded as one of the best players in the world, he is known for his flair, chance creation, and long-distance curling goals.
