He'll be at Barça for the next few years, competing at the highest level, in the Champions League, in La Liga ... competing with Real Madrid and the big clubs. I also say this for the Spanish national team, which will shine in tournaments because it's very strong. He grew up in the neighborhoods of Mataró , and that's helped him become so mature now. He understands he has a responsibility as a player," he added.
Another notable figure was Mourinho . "Back then, he was a revolutionary. He did things in training that would put the opponent out of their place," he explained. He also looked back on his time as a Barça player. "The Barcelona team I played for was technically very good; that was the feeling I had on the pitch. I inherited the generation of the '90s, yours, Cruyff's , then came Messi, Iniesta, and Xavi ," he recalled.

Yes because no one has ever done it at his level.. he's just a 16yr old...but his playing maturity is so mind blowing. You should actually be ashamed of your envy towards this successful very young kid.

You people are crazy. Lamine has just played competitively for a season yer you rate him this high. Let’s be more cautious. Allow him to grow and let the world see his prowess. He has age on his side and a long journey ahead. I wish Lamine best of luck in his career.
