Rivaldo, a legend of the Brazilian national team and Barcelona, spoke about young winger Lamin Yamal, who is being trained by the Catalans, making a big prediction about his future.
Нe believes that Lamin, who is currently only 18, could become one of the main contenders for the prestigious Ballon d'Or award next year.
"I think Lamina has every opportunity to win the Ballon d'Or next year. If he scores a lot of goals, gives a lot of assists, and performs at a high level throughout the season, the award won't pass him by.
Simply demonstrating one's skills is not enough. He must prove everything on the field, just as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo did in their time," Rivaldo said in his statement.
As a reminder, Lamin Yamal has appeared in three La Liga matches this season, scoring two goals and providing three assists. His transfer value on Transfermarkt is estimated at €200 million.
This figure clearly shows how high Yamal's potential and interest in him are. If the young talent of the Catalan team develops at such a pace, football fans will surely begin to believe that Rivaldo's words are not superfluous.
