FC Barcelona: Wojciech Szczęsny lifts the veil on Lamine Yamal

At just 18 years old, Lamine Yamal is already carrying the hopes of FC Barcelona and the world of football on his young shoulders. Regarded as one of the brightest talents of his generation, the Spanish winger has earned the admiration of his teammates—starting with Wojciech Szczęsny. In an interview with Mundo Deportivo, the Polish goalkeeper was full of praise for the young prodigy:

"Lamine is at a stage in his career where he needs to enjoy himself, that's the most important thing. With his abilities, if he doesn't lose his passion for the game and stays professional, nothing will stop him from becoming the best player in the world," he said.

Beyond raw talent, Szczęsny insists on the importance of letting the youngster learn and grow at his own pace—even off the pitch.

"Yes, he likes to enjoy life, but we were all 18 once. Making mistakes is part of it, and that's how you learn," he shared.

"He doesn't need someone constantly behind him telling him what to do. He needs to live his life and keep playing the way he does."

These statements, filled with experience and goodwill, reflect the protective environment surrounding Yamal at Barça. The Spaniard, already indispensable despite his young age, seems to have everything it takes to leave a lasting mark on the history of the Catalan club and world football.
