In an interview with ESPN earlier this year, Barcelona superstar Robert Lewandowski praised Lamine Yamal for his talent. However, he warned the teenager about difficulties in the future and said (via GOAL):

"When I think about Lamine...He's still only 17 and he's playing like someone who's 25, or 26, with his experience on the pitch, you see that he's not a player like the youngsters. I'm not going to talk about his talent, because everyone knows how talented he is. But how is he growing?

"Football is brutal sometimes and you have to be prepared for it. I'm sure the path he's following is exactly the best for him. It's difficult. (...) Because talent helps you at the beginning of your career, but later on, the mentality helps you not to be at the top, but to stay at the top."

Lewandowski has been with the Catalans since his transfer from Bayern Munich in 2022, contributing 90 goals and 20 assists in 128 outings across competitions. He won the Pichichi Trophy in his very first season with the club, scoring 23 goals.

Meanwhile, Lamine Yamal has been one of the breakout stars in world football, graduating from the fame La Masia academy. He has recorded 18 goals and 21 assists in 82 appearances for Barca across competitions.
