Aitana Bonmatí, FC Barcelona star, has expressed her admiration for the young Lamine Yamal, highlighting his exceptional talent and his ability to excel at such a young age.
Bonmatí: Yamal, a generational talent
Bonmatí, recent winner of the Women’s Ballon d’Or, witnessed the exciting Champions League semi-final match between Barcelona and Inter Milan. Despite the elimination of the Catalan team, the player was impressed by the performance of Yamal, 17 years old.
“I think he’s one of those players who comes along very occasionally, very rarely, and who has something innate,” commented Bonmatí.

The footballer highlighted Yamal’s maturity and audacity on the field, qualities that, according to her, distinguish him from the rest. Bonmatí also emphasized the young player’s ability not to be influenced by external pressure, despite his growing global fame.
Bonmatí, who took advantage of a few days off to support the men’s team in Milan, described the experience as unique and exciting. Despite the defeat, the player enjoyed the opportunity to experience the match as just another fan.
In the women’s sphere, Barcelona, with Bonmatí as a key figure, conquered its sixth consecutive Liga F title and is preparing to play the Champions League final against Arsenal on May 24 and the Copa de la Reina against Atlético de Madrid on June 7.
For its part, the men’s team, under the direction of Hansi Flick, has already secured the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey. In addition, it is only two points away from winning LaLiga.
