21-year-old German star picks Barca sensation as the best talent currently

Since the start of the season, whatever game FC Barcelona has played, one of the omnipresent factors attached to the club's performance has been Lamine Yamal. The 17-year-old has had a brilliant debut season in the club's 2023/24 campaign as well, but this season, he has been just unstoppable, having some of the best numbers in Europe.

Apart from being a significant contributor to the club's five victories this season, Yamal was brilliant even in Barca's first loss of the season against Monaco. With eight goal contributions, the prodigy forward holds the stature of having contributed to the club's every fixture this season. From football pundits to analysts, almost everyone has been of the opinion that this talent is special, given his brilliance at such a young age.

Recently, 21-year-old German star Florian Wirtz, who himself is one of the biggest European sensations currently, gave a response, upon being asked about the best talent currently, which has left many intrigued. Wirtz naming Barca's prodigy talent Lamine Yamal was surprising because he himself has been one of the distinguished talents currently, having earned significant repute for his contributions to Leverkusen.

In fact, the 21-year-old had a brilliant Euro campaign, where he netted twice for Germany in his 5 appearances, being crucial for the nation's campaign. Wirtz's response might have been significantly influenced given that during their quarterfinal Euro clash against Spain, Yamal's masterclass performance was crucial to take Spain ahead.

However, whatever it may be, Lamine Yamal gathering significant praise for his brilliance at such a young age, is tremendous. Not to forget only days ago, Real Madrid all-time legend Cristiano Ronaldo had named the youngster as a potential candidate to become the best player in the future, and now this appreciation from Wirtz would significantly boost the youngster's morale.

Given his talent, Yamal certainly possesses much to retire, becoming the greatest of all time, but much would depend upon his hard work, injury recoveries, and dedication to fight back. Barca fans would hope that the right-wing prodigy goes on to register his name as one of the club's greats, helping the club win major trophies along the journey.
