Yamal-Ronaldo
Ronaldo recently gave an interview on a YouTube channel. The Portuguese legend made such comments about Yamal there. Said, 'He (Yamal) has a lot of potential. I saw a lot of talent in him. Now it remains to be seen how he progresses in his career. I think he will do great things. He will be one of the best footballers of this generation.'
Ronaldo hopes that Yamal will continue his career without any major injuries. He said, 'He is still very young. Fate has to help him. Hope he doesn't suffer any major injuries. He is in very good condition all round. Especially the current team in Spain is great.'
At the age of 16, Yamal got a taste of this year's Euro victory by performing brilliantly in Spain's jersey. He entered the field as the youngest footballer in the history of Euro. He also won the title of the best young footballer of the tournament. The 17-year-old is in great form in La Liga even for Barca.
