Former Real Madrid midfielder David Beckham is impressed by Barcelona’s young sensation, Lamine Yamal.
The blend of speed, agility, and skill that Yamal has shown at such a young age has left everyone in awe. Comparisons with the magician Lionel Messi are often drawn. Now, former English star David Beckham has also joined the growing list of admirers.
While Messi’s journey to the top, marked by goals and magical moments that have brought endless joy to both national teams and clubs, is still unmatched, Yamal, at just 17, shows potential that excites Beckham. However, there’s still a long way for Yamal to go to reach those heights.
“In my opinion, no one compares to Messi. But from the players I’ve seen, he’s very close to Messi. I believe one day he’ll be as good as Leo,” Beckham said.
Yamal continues to send a message of becoming the best with each match. He will be a key figure in Barcelona’s attack during the upcoming El Clásico against Real Madrid this Sunday in La Liga.
Already this season, across all competitions, the young forward has scored 15 goals and contributed to 24 more. He has helped Barcelona win the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup this season and tasted Euro success with Spain’s national team last year.
Yamal’s value is skyrocketing in the transfer market. Having played for Barcelona since 2023, the forward’s current estimated value is around €180 million.
