Lamine Yamal Is Already On Top | Defector
Briefly

"Lamine has already achieved feats within the reach only of the game's generational talents. How could you deny that what you routinely see from him earns him a place in the highest tier of the player hierarchy?"
"What is real is what happens on the pitch—both what Lamine does on it and how his opponents react. There, out on the objective reality of the field, Lamine's magnitude is most clear."
"It's hard to pin down Lamine Yamal's place amongst the top players in the world today. On one hand, you don't want the allure of the new to rob you of perspective."
"Yes, he's only 17, and he's only been playing like this for the better part of this calendar year. But in that brief time... he has shown extraordinary potential."
