The Rosario star did not hesitate to mention the player he considers to be the best footballer of today. The details
"There is no money that can pay for a photo like that"That reflection that had been given Joan Monfort, author of an iconic image in which a young man shares the stage Leo Messi and a baby lamina yamal in 2007, could exemplify the present of both international figures. “Besides, I don’t know if I would be able to do it, or if it is something that could be bought with money,” continued the Catalan about the value of the material he created more than 17 years ago.
In times of artificial intelligence and an increasingly realistic digital era, the magic displayed by the stars of Inter Miami and Barcelona marks a union between the two for the love of the ball. Therefore, when the legendary star from Rosario was asked who is the best player of the new generations, the former Barcelona and PSG player did not hesitate: lamina yamal.
“There are many good players from the new generation, but I will mention one because of his age and what he has been doing,” The Flea began his arguments. And he immediately declared: “It’s Lamine Yamal, he is already the present and the future.”
Despite not having shared the pitch at Camp Nou, their bond began with a publication that Mounir Nasraoui, father of the striker of Culé, who shared on his account Instagram A historic photo where you can see her son as a baby, enjoying a bubble bath with his mother, Sheila Ebana, and a young man Leo Messi, who at that time was already dazzling with his football in the Blaugrana. An image from 2007 that was included in a charity calendar run by the club.

The Argentine and the Spaniard coincided in space and time seventeen years ago, but only the parents of the young player of the Barça They knew the fact and had not shared it with anyone. It was a twist of fate or destiny, a touch of coincidence or luck that has led to the two great football geniuses coinciding in such an image. One at the end of his career and the other at the dawn of it, but both dream of continuing to win trophies with their teams and national teams.
Recently, the Barcelona striker was chosen as MVP in the victory against Borussia Dortmund by 3 to 2 at Signal Iduna Parken, for the sixth round of the League Phase of the Champions League. The young attacker said that on those fields “It is important to know how to resist"and he said it was key"take advantage of the opportunity to score".
The youngster proved that his role model was right when he named him the best player on the planet. Lamine Yamal recovered from an injury and once again showed all his talent to inspire the Catalan team to win another Treble (or Sextet as in Leo's time at the Blaugrana). To do so, he will have to maintain the level he has been displaying in every match, whether in the Champions League, the Copa del Rey or La Liga. If the international titles come, new challenges will follow, such as the Club World Cup next year.
