Alessandro Nesta’s High Praise for Lamine Yamal: ‘He is Not Normal!’
Alessandro Nesta, the Italian football legend and Monza manager, praised Lamine Yamal, calling him ‘extraordinary.’
Lamine Yamal continues to shine in European football with his brilliant performances for Barcelona this season. The Spanish player recently scored a stunning goal in Barcelona’s draw against Inter Milan, earning praise from many football figures, including Rafa Benitez, who particularly admired the forward.
Now, even Alessandro Nesta has joined the ranks of Yamal’s admirers. In an interview with Tuttosport, the former Milan defender praised the Barcelona prodigy, describing him as ‘extraordinary.’ Nesta, who played over 400 matches in Serie A and faced many great attackers, knows well what makes a great winger. According to him, Yamal is a step above the rest.
Nesta said: ‘Lamine Yamal is 17 years old. He has already won the Euros. He is special. He should not be compared to others because he is extraordinary, something beyond normal, almost inhuman.’ He added: ‘If we compare him to other young players, we only make it harder for them. Yamal is a unique player, and there are very few like him.’
