Lamine Yamal has been a teenage sensation and the best young talent by a margin since breaking through the ranks of La Masia and into the first team. Carrying Barca every time he steps on the pitch last season and winning the Euros with the Spain national team.
Yamal’s first year is Cristiano’s best ever
After the year ended an astonishing stat about the 17-year-old emerged. Lamine Yamal had recorded 25 assists in 2024, an already unbelievable number for a player of his age. He achieved this incredible feat in his first year with the first team of Barca. However, the more unimaginable fact was that Cristiano Ronaldo’s best year for assists was 2014 when he provided 24 assistsâone less than La Masia’s rising star.
The Madridista rage
Real Madrid fans did not like it when football pages posted the stat on their social media platforms. Many of them argued that Ronaldo was a goal scorer and not a winger. However, when they are confronted with Messi having a better goal per game ratio than him they say he played as a “midfielder” in Sir Alex Fergurson’s United and a winger in his early days at Madrid. So which is it? is he a goal scorer or a playmaker who has never won a playmaker award?
