Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsí has mentioned teammate Lamine Yamal has no ceiling and can someday win the Ballon d’Or award.
Yamal, 17, turned the youngest ever winner of the Kopa Trophy as the perfect under-21 participant on Monday. Named Younger Participant of the Event at Euro 2024 after serving to Spain win the title, Yamal completed eighth within the Ballon d’Or rankings.
“Now everybody sees what he’s, however I’ve identified him for years and I do know what he is like,” Cubarsí, 17, informed RAC 1.
“I feel he has the power to win it [Ballon d’Or].”
Yamal has picked up the place he left off final season and has scored six objectives and arrange seven extra in 14 appearances to this point.
Requested if he thinks that Yamal has a ceiling, Cubarsí mentioned: “I do not suppose so. As he’s proper now, he is at a spectacular stage and to have him at that stage in our workforce helps us rather a lot.
“He is filled with confidence and that makes us glad.”
Yamal is the youngest scorer in LaLiga historical past and the youngest participant ever to function at a European Championship.
Cubarsí, who grew up with Yamal at La Masía, Barça’s academy, is aware of simply how difficult it’s for rival defenders to restrict the Spanish ahead.
“It is powerful,” he mentioned. “You by no means know what he will come out with.”
