'The Brightest Gem In La Masia': 14-year-old Academy Star Trending Among Barca Fans
Lamine Yamal only turns 15 in July, but he has already won hearts of some Barcelona supporters.
On Monday, the teenager scored a goal as Barcelona U16 beat Sant Andreu 5-0 in the Catalan Championship.
The 14-year-old usually plays as a right winger but could also cover the left wing and the centre-forward position.
Despite being so young, Yamal already represents Barca U16 and Spain U16 which is quite impressive. Lamine has bagged 4 goals in 10 appearances for Spain's youth sides; 16 goals and 14+ assists at a club level are also worth a mention.
Here is what Culers love the most about Yamal.
"If you create a Lamine Yamal compilation of his available games till date, it will be biggest hit and far better than some of the professional footballers career comps. That's how much a freakin' talent Lamine is simply!!"

"I've never seen Lamine Yamal like that. Calmed, not showboating with his skills, efficient. Also, he's so aggressive without the ball, his defensive contribution is really impressive. And, his vision, just wow. He should be promoted to Juvenil A."
