The Chilean Real Madrid legend, Iván Zamorano, didn't mince his words when talking about FC Barcelona's young sensation, Lamine Yamal. Asked about the possibility of seeing the player don the famous white shirt one day, the former striker delivered a blunt response.

“A talented player, but lacking the Real essence”

For Zamorano, while the young Spaniard's talent is undeniable, his attitude and profile don't align with the spirit of the Madrid club:

“I wouldn't sign Lamine Yamal. He's a great player, but he doesn't have the soul or the essence of Real Madrid. Madrid is a club of class and culture, and its players should reflect that.”

A direct statement, true to the Chilean's temperament, who clearly didn't appreciate some of the recent comments made by Barcelona's rising star.

“I never heard Messi say he was robbed of anything, and he was the best in the world. A 17-year-old shouldn't stand out for his words, but for his game.”

“Barça must help Lamine Yamal find his path. Only then can he go beyond being a good player and build a true legacy.”

Finally, the former Madrid striker made his preference crystal clear:

“I would choose Pedri over him. He is humble, speaks when it's necessary, and lets his football do the talking. That's the true Real Madrid spirit.”
