Franco Mastantuono

Recently, Franco Mastantuono had some strong words for Lamine Yamal, Barcelona’s young star.

Sidelined due to pubic inflammation, Franco Mastantuono is set to return soon. This physical setback is reminiscent of the one suffered by Lamine Yamal, Barcelona’s Spanish prodigy. The Real Madrid player was even asked to play the comparison game.

Speaking on El Larguero, broadcast on Cadena SER, the Argentine was especially complimentary: "I’ve already spoken about this. I don’t like comparisons, but it’s always great to have rivals of Lamine’s caliber, from Barça and Spain. They push you to become even better, and I hope it stays that way for many years."

When asked who is currently the better player, he surprised everyone: "Today, it’s Lamine. Honestly, he’s showing an incredible level, he’s already proven it, and he’s in extraordinary form. I’ve just arrived in Madrid, I’m still adapting, and I hope the process will be quick so I can catch up with the rhythm of European football and Real Madrid. I hope this will be a long story to tell, with many matches like the one we just witnessed, which was incredible."
