Yamal, 18 years old, scored a great goal from outside the area in added time.\n\nThe 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.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>He&#8217;s the most talented player I&#8217;ve played with at his age. I haven&#8217;t played with or seen anyone with the impact he has on the game. Maybe Ronaldo Nazario&#8230; 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.<\/p><cite>Marcus Rashford<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0819%2Fr1533694_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Marcus Rashford ha sido impresionado por Lamine Yamal.\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Marcus Rashford ha sido impresionado por Lamine Yamal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nYamal, who turned 18 last month, is already a prominent figure at Barcelona, winning LaLiga and the Copa del Rey last season, as well as being part of the Spanish national team that won Euro 2024.\n\nRashford even sees him as a potential Ballon d&#8217;Or winner.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Yes, he can win the Ballon d&#8217;Or, definitely.
