Lamine Yamal has been in the news ever since he rose through the ranks at FC Barcelona. The young person has made significant progress in recent months and is on track to develop into one of the world’s top players at a very young age.

At only 15 years, 9 months, and 16 days old, the rookie made his FC Barcelona debut on April 29 of this year, making him the club’s youngest-ever debutant. The player has since been called up by Spain, and in the upcoming days, he will also play in his first senior international match.

Unexpected idol for Yamal

As a result of his rapid rise to prominence at a young age, he is now receiving more media attention. While playing for the Spanish national team, the young man recently took part in an interview with Diario AS, during which he answered some personal questions about his professional life.He was questioned about his earliest idol, among other things. Yamal’s selection of Marco Asensio, a former Real Madrid forward, as one of the players that most impressed him in response to this question was unexpected.Yamal gave a response that few people would have anticipated hearing from him, and the small boy was aware of the oddity of his response. As a result, he also said that he felt ashamed to refer to such an unlikely athlete as his hero.

Asensio is trying to change his profession.

Asensio, like Yamal, had a lot of promise when he first joined Real Madrid. In these early games, the Spaniard scored some notable long-range goals, but as his career with Los Blancos progressed, he found it difficult to maintain the outstanding form.This summer, after finishing his Real Madrid contract, he signed with PSG. Asensio and Yamal will be on the field together as Spain plays Georgia and Cyprus in the meantime.
