Fabio Capello, the former head coach of the England and Russia national teams, as well as Real Madrid, Juventus, and AC Milan, evaluated the career prospects of Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal.

He’s a guy achieving great success. When he started at Barcelona, they said he was the new Messi, but no, he won’t reach that level. He is extraordinary, amazing, a top player, but he doesn’t have Messi’s genius.
Previously, Yamal shared his experience of balancing education and his football career. His agent, Jorge Mendes, stated that the young Barcelona player should take inspiration from Cristiano Ronaldo.
