Hating him is just so sad from football lovers. Lamine is doing extremely well for himself, barca, his family and football at large. imagine a 17-18 yrs being mentioned in such list is something to appreciate him for cuz these things barely happen. 43 million is huge, legend in making 💯✨️✨️✨️💯💯❤️❤️

It's so sad for the Saudi guys, especially Al Nassr, that even after paying players especially Ronaldo, that much their clubs can't win important trophies. You look at Inter Miami, for instance, created just abt 5 years ago, invested in players such as Messi, Alba etc and they have already reached the top level in their league. You just can't say the same abt Al Nassr. This seasons looks great for them but just look at how much they had to spend.
