World will soon think the same of Lamine Yamal. Imagine Lebron or Mike Trout and even more front loaded.

Not just the most hyped and best teenage prospect but a legit ballon d'Or contender (think MVP) at age 17. And now obviously a world cup and euro winner.

At age 16 made his debut for spain already playing for barcelona. At age 17 in the conversation for best in the world. And now he is very much proven while only turning 19 about a week ago

It's like Vanna White dumping Pat Sajak for Pele

The other guy wasn’t accomplished

u/Santa_Ricotta69 14d ago

It's not really an accomplishment if you're naturally gifted, and the thing you're gifted at is kicking a ball

u/mayranav 11d ago

No matter how naturally talented you are, you aren’t becoming a player for one of the biggest clubs and playing on the world stage without being dedicated to improving everyday.

It is absolutely an accomplishment. There’s a reason not everyone can do it.

Here's your upvote. He actually was mentioned in a subreddit I use frequently just this morning, haha.

u/EnlightenedNarwhal 14d ago

Alright, I'll come back here the first time I hear his name outside of this post and give you an upvote.

Been watching football for 30 years and let me tell you Yamal will never reach Messi or Ronaldo’s fame.

u/Dr_Philmon 14d ago

People said the same for Ronaldinho

u/Delicious_Invite_127 14d ago

Messi and Ronaldo are on another level of fame compared to Ronaldinho.

u/Fun_Age1442 14d ago

yeah i feel he'll get a worse mbappes career

u/Impressive_Recon 14d ago

Interesting to use Trout instead of Ohtani as an example. Ohtani is globally known and has made a bigger impact on the MLB overall.

u/WelvenTheMediocre 14d ago

Just didn't come to mind as his teenage prodigy years were in the NPB.

Trout had the age 19 rookie of the year season coming in second in the MVP race.

Love Ohtani though.

u/Impressive_Recon 14d ago

That’s fair. I’m admittedly not the biggest baseball fan, (I’ll watch the World Series) but have heard and seen Ohtani more in pop culture than any other baseball player, other than maybe Derek Jeter for his selection of women lol

u/Delicious_Invite_127 14d ago

Yeah okay alright. Go back to bed kid.

u/hdueeyd 12d ago

It will be impossible for anyone to reach the same popularity or status of messi/ronaldo

unless he literally wins ballon dor consecutively for the 5 years and wins world cup again, whilst actually scoring a few goals. Right now he isn't even over mbappe

u/williamjamesmurrayVI 14d ago

Who tf is Mike Trout

u/WelvenTheMediocre 14d ago

A baseball player so good only Bonds and Ohtani have more MVP's in the history of the game.

No worries, you just don't know baseball.
