Lamine Yamal It’s on everyone’s lips. The player of Barcelona and the Spanish team, he is undoubtedly one of the most mediatized of the current scene due to his brutal explosion at a young age. This has not gone unnoticed. CIES Football Observatorywhich placed him as the best teenage footballer on the planet.
The right winger has 2.75 times more experience than the average for his age and position, according to CIES, while he is still 17 years old and thus exceeds Paul Cubarsi (2.42) already Endrick (2.41), who occupy the second and third positions. And today, Lamine Yamal has no rival among the footballers of his generation, because match after match, he demonstrates a self-confidence that has been seen in few players in history.
The CIES prepares this ranking based on the level of experience from the minutes of official matches of the last year, weighted by the sporting performance of the matches played. Lamine Yamal is easily in the lead after a great individual season with Barça and collectively with Spainwinning the European Cup at his first international tournament.

With the national team, he provided another assist, the one he gave to Joselu Mato In Geneva to make it 0-1 against Switzerland with a header.
