FC Barcelona's star forward praises club sensation Lamine Yamal as the best winger

FC Barcelona has been off to a spectacular start this 2024/25 campaign. Winning all 7 of their La Liga matchdays, the Blaugrana club finds itself on top of the points table, maintaining a 100% win rate so far. While the club has stood out in all compartments and key areas this season, with all players delivering their level best, deserved credit needs to be given to Lamine Yamal, who has been just unstoppable.

FC Barcelona's star forward praises club sensation Lamine Yamal as the best winger

Combining crucially with the seasoned stars, Raphinha on the left wing and the Polish legend Robert Lewandowski on the front, Barca's front three have been a menace to the opposition backlines. With nine goal contributions in his eight appearances for the Catalan club this season, Yamal has clearly been one of the best talents recently. In the last fixture against Getafe, the Barca boy won again the MOTM award, making it the 3rd for him in only 7 games.

Recently, Lamine Yamal has been collecting loads of appreciation from football legends and pundits worldwide, and club superstar Robert Lewandowski added himself to the list. Speaking about the wing prodigy, Lewandowski remarked,

""Lamine Yamal is the best winger in the world.""

Given the player's recent form and his contributions so far this season, certainly, as the Polish legend mentioned, Yamal can be called the best winger. However, the 36-year-old goal machine was wise enough to keep the youngster grounded with his brilliant advice. Lewandowski added that while currently, he is the best wing forward, he needs to improvise much to transition from being a position specialist to the best player in the world.

Reflecting upon the possibility of whether Yamal could become the greatest player ever, Lewandowski said,

""A football career is so long; sometimes it's not important how you start; what's more important is how you finish or how the next years will be. And in the next 15 years, he'll be 32.""

As the legendary forward added, it will be crucial for Yamal to remain grounded and focus on the bigger picture of his career, maybe for the next 10-15 years. If he maintains it being calm and composed, the 17-year-old will step onto the stage of the greatest player of all time. Barca fans would hope that the way Yamal is performing, he continues to do so, as they await to see someone continue Lionel Messi's legacy on the club's right wing.
