Valid question and something that I'm worried about.. 🧐😂

Liked reading what his youth coach Diaz said in Sport - giving an impression he is level headed & focused, traits you surely would have to possess to exude so much maturity at 16 in a game where the average age of professionals with at least a decade of seniority/experience
What I also love already about his potential is how he elevates in the biggest matches at every youth category, to be a catalyst and not hide - and does it with an ease only the game’s greatest can deliver
Because he’s 16, his physical attributes remain developing and before he’s even 20 Yamal will already look very different than what he does today - no one can accurately gauge how that will translate on the pitch but his existing tools are all WC, so the ceiling is unlike any other player in the game IMHO
Messi at 16 was an anomaly, particularly in how relentlessly he attacked the goal - I don’t think many could’ve predicted his trajectory much less ceiling but his skill set improved by the age of 21 to where he added weapons like fks he didn’t demonstrate at 16. Leo kept working on his overall game & passing
The key is having the right foundation to build upon, coupled with an ambition, discipline & focus to develop in the absence of a mentor - because let’s face it, even in Fall of this season it was clear Lamine was the most dangerous player in the squad and he hadn’t been in the 1st team environment for even 6 months yet
Lamine will flourish irrespective of who is there to coach or inspire but it’s clear he should be well managed to ensure an environment to thive/grow. Adding the right profile of teammates will be vital as well, hence why I am so much an advocate of acquiring Nico Williams — something special can happen if they are united

The only person that has ever compared him to Messi, is that gazz dude yesterday
Not a single person else as ever done that., I've hear mahrez comparisons and a few others all realistic, but not the GOAT.

Oh really? I didn't know he was 16 with the number of adulations he has been given on this forum. Can everyone then just stfu and let's wait till he is of "brawl age" and consistent, before heaping those praises.
When they show a few glimpses of talent, we hear, "what a talent" "he has the team on his shoulders", ",an outrageous player" , "future "BdOr".....etc, but when they fail to impress or go back their levels, all we hear is "oh, he is 16, he will improve" or "for his age, "he is a super talent, time will tell", ..oh no, that was just a dip in form" .
I have seen enough of these in the past to withold any early judgement of all these "new saviours" you all come up with every season.

Buffon never played for Barca
On a serious note, you sound like a sore Madridista, constantly hating on the LaMasia lads, because you can't bring a player through your academy who is good enough to even get in Barca's women's team.
