At youth age, you occasionally find a player who is much bigger than their opponents.
Take Romelu Lukaku for example.
The Belgian forward looked like a grown man when he emerged for Anderlecht's first team at the tender age of 16.
It was his height and strength that meant he was able to compete in Belgium's top tier, scoring 19 goals in 45 appearances before his 17th birthday.
And he was also huge at the age of 13.
An image has previously gone viral of Lukaku towering over both his opponent and the referee... at just 13 years old.
And it appears one player in Sevilla's youth academy is enjoying a height advantage similar to what Lukaku once enjoyed.
Sevilla's U12s played in the Ciutat Esportiva group stage against Villarreal on Friday.
And Villarreal posted images of the game, one of which showed one of Sevilla's players completely towering over one of their own players.
La Liga also got involved on Instagram.
They uploaded an image of the same player, with the caption 'big man'.
They also joked that his teammate was his 'son'.
What are they feeding this kid?!

it shouldn't just be age at some extend, height should be restricted too, dis one is grossly exagerated n the game will be played by one player running with the ball round the field every now n then
No way. So you mean kids who are like this should not play football... Right? It's not their fault. If there have the talent, let them play with their age matrs
