The star Barcelona striker, Marcus Rashford, has expressed his admiration for his young teammate Lamine Yamal, describing him as “the most talented player” he has shared a pitch with at his age. Rashford, who made his LaLiga debut last Saturday in Barça’s 3-0 victory against Mallorca, came on as a substitute in the 69th minute. Yamal, 18 years old, scored a great goal from outside the area in added time. The English footballer, who arrived at Barcelona on loan this summer, has shared a locker room with young prospects at Manchester United and the England national team, but considers that the Spanish international is on another level.
He’s the most talented player I’ve played with at his age. I haven’t played with or seen anyone with the impact he has on the game. Maybe Ronaldo Nazario… To have that influence on the field at such a young age and so consistently is incredible. He has a long career ahead of him and I hope he maintains his level and even improves.

Yamal scored nine goals in 35 appearances in LaLiga last season and five goals in the Champions League during Barcelona’s run to the semi-finals. Rashford highlighted Yamal’s maturity, being surprised by his way of thinking and playing, considering him superior to his age. Barcelona will face Levante on Saturday.Yes, he can win the Ballon d’Or, definitely. If he doesn’t win it this year, he will win it in the future.
