18-year-old Yamal s "magic" shines at Camp Nou! Valverde: He is expected to become the next Messi

In Barcelona's first game back at the new Spotify Camp Nou stadium, 18-year-old Lamine Yamar seemed to cast football magic - he danced between the Athletic Bilbao defense and sent out two dreamlike assists, completely igniting this temple that had been dormant for nearly two years.

In the end, Barcelona defeated their opponent 4-0, and Yamal performed amazingly throughout the game. After the game, he was rated 9.5 points by the media, becoming the highest rated player in the team. You know, in a star-studded Barcelona team, an 18-year-old boy can receive such recognition, which shows the shock of his performance.

Yamal dances alone, and Bibao’s defense line is useless.

This game was originally full of highlights: Bilbao has Nico Williams, who has just returned from injury, a player who once played for Barcelona’s youth training and later switched to his rival. He has always been the “key concern” of Camp Nou fans. However, he was in a sluggish state and did almost nothing.

Yamal, on the other hand, completely controlled the rhythm of the game. Facing Bilbao's notoriously tough defense, he seemed to be in a no-man's land, deftly getting rid of multiple double-teams many times, and sent two very imaginative assists to help Ferran Torres score twice (the latter also received a high rating of 9 points in this game). In addition, he also created a single opportunity for Dani Olmo, but unfortunately the latter delayed and missed the goal.

Throughout the game, Yamal continued to create chaos in the opponent's penalty area, using speed, vision and ball feel to tear apart this team known for its discipline and confrontation.

Valverde rarely praised him: He is as special as Messi.

Even the opponent coach and former Barcelona meritorious coach Valverde couldn't help comparing Yamal to Messi. When asked after the game whether Yamal could reach the heights of Messi, he first smiled bitterly: "Are you asking this question again? Do you know how high the standard set by Messi is?"

But then, he changed his tone and said seriously: "Usually I would say, 'Time will give it. But after tonight, I dare to answer directly: Yamal is fully capable of this. The level of football he has shown is no less than that of Messi."

Valverde further emphasized: "Messi is one of the greatest players in history, and he is full of surprises every day. People's ambitions are invested in training. And now, we may be witnessing the birth of another extraordinary talent. Yamal has just started, and his future is limitless. "

The new king is showing his talents. 2}

Barcelona came out with full firepower in this campaign: Lewandowski scored a lightning goal in the 4th minute, and Ferran scored another victory in the first half; in the second half, Fermin Lopez expanded the score, Bibao player Sansette was sent off with a red card, and Torres added the icing on the cake in the 90th minute, locking in a 4-0 victory.

Rashford, who was absent due to the flu, failed to appear, leaving the stage completely to Yamal. He lived up to this trust and declared with a master-level performance that his era may have quietly begun.
