Rio Ferdinand believes Barcelona’s 17-year-old wonderkid Lamine Yamal is already the best player in the world.
Yamal starred in Barcelona’s thrilling 3-3 draw with Inter Milan on Wednesday night as he scored a stunning solo goal to bring the Catalan giants back into the game after they had fallen 2-0 down inside 21 minutes.
The winger continued to cause Inter problems all night, and Ferdinand took to X after the match to heap praise on the teenage sensation.
‘As a pure football talent I’m going as far as to say I think Lamine Yamal is on another level to any player playing the game in the top 5 leagues in world football,’ Ferdinand wrote.
’17yrs old – Truly unbelievable.’
