"Lamine is one of the most skillful players. He scores goals, gives assists. He's always creating something on the pitch. There aren't many players like him anymore. Before, we had many, but now he's one of the great talents in Europe and in the world."
"As a veteran you miss seeing players like Lamine. Unfortunately we don't have many like that anymore."
"Lamine and Kylian Mbappé are the two best. It's going to be a great battle. Lamine with Spain and Mbappé with France."
Nicolas Anelka visited Barcelona's Ciutat Esportiva Damm to support the Students Nations World Cup, a semi-professional tournament organized by Lenny Evra. The competition features university student teams. While watching Brazil face Germany in a semifinal, Anelka observed quality play despite the tournament's academic focus. Though retired from professional football, Anelka remains engaged with the sport, enjoying matches and observing young talent development. He expressed particular admiration for Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, describing him as one of the most skillful players in Europe who scores, assists, and creates opportunities. Anelka noted that such creative, improvisational players are increasingly rare in modern football. He identified Yamal and Kylian Mbappé as the two best young players currently, anticipating their future rivalry representing Spain and France respectively.
