The two shared the pitch on 64 occasions for club and country. Speaking about Yamal, the Spanish defender said, as quoted by GOAL:<\/p>\n “I had a special relationship with Lamine, which was mutual from the very beginning. And it’s true that he saw me as a role model, like a father in the locker room.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n He added:<\/p>\n “He arrived very young, and these kinds of locker rooms are usually complicated. But I don’t think he’s aware of the burden he’s carrying, because at 18, he’s a footballer who has to pull the team together. I hope he continues like this, because the day he realises it, it will weigh on him.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Lamine Yamal finished second in the race for the 2025 Ballon d’Or behind Ousmane Dembele. He has made 111 appearances for Barcelona till date, scoring 27 goals and providing 38 assists.<\/p>\nFormer Barcelona star makes a big claim about Lamine Yamal<\/h2>\n
