7 hours ago'Lamine Yamal is fine' - Hector Fort calls for calm at Barcelona
Hector Fort expects Barcelona to recover from a small dip, defends Lamine Yamal, and aims to develop defensively while on loan at Elche.
Lamine, who by the way, when he found out Barcelona were interested in Rashford, he said 'get him, get him,' Because he used to play with him on the PlayStation because he was so good, so fast. Everybody loves him, a bit quiet as we know, but he's very adapted to it. He's adapted closer to the older guys at Barcelona, but the younger guys admire him because he's been at big clubs.
Watch below as Hato said he hadn't seen anyone that good at that age, apart from perhaps Lamine Yamal ? Jorrel Hato: "Have I seen a teenager as good as Estevao? Maybe Lamine Yamal" ?? pic.twitter.com/hIXhEz5trU CaughtOffside (@caughtoffside) October 23, 2025 He was really good today again, Hato said of Estevao. Very young, he's even younger than me, but such a great player. Have I seen another teenager like this? Maybe Lamine Yamal, but I cannot name other names.
Fermin put in a great performance. Three goals, the first one was very important to open the scoring. He's a player who has it all: he's dynamic and we need his speed too. The first thing is that we won today, which is the important thing, and that has to give us confidence for that game. It's a huge game. There's not much time to waste. We're going to recover, and we have to be ready.
"I didn't understand it, because he has also been a national team coach. In the end, everyone is judged by their actions. "Sometimes I don't understand the clubs' position either. All players want to be in the national team,"
Ronaldo, 40, who on June signed a new two-year deal with Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, is projected to claim $280 million in total earnings over the coming year before taxes and agents' fees. The Portugal captain, who recently declared he has no plans to retire as he is "still producing good things," will earn $230m from Al Nassr during the 2025-26 season plus $50m in off-field earnings.
Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has entered the list of the Top 10 highest paid footballers in the world for the first time. The list is compiled by Forbes and sees Yamal ranked in 10th spot with estimated earnings of $43 million (£32m) for this season - $10m of that is said to be commercial income. Yamal is the only Barcelona star in the list which is once again topped by Cristiano Ronaldo.
I don't mean to compare, but his style and way of playing is like Lamine Yamal. His movements are Lamine-esque. I didn't have him on my radar and when I got to Singapore, he was already training and playing. When they told me he was 15, I couldn't believe it. He really is an incredible player, and I think he's going to be world-class.
Lamine Yamal is making good progress in his recovery from injury and is expected to return to training on Wednesday at Barcelona. The latest update on the teenager comes from AS and news that Yamal should be passed fit in time to play a few minutes at the weekend against Girona. Barca then expect him to feature against Olympiacos in the Champions League - potentially even as a starter - meaning he should be "100%" ready in time for El Clasico.
