Barcelona defender, João Cancelo, has put Lamine Yamal among the top three most talented players in the world.
Cancelo spoke at his pre-match press conference ahead of Barcelona’s UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg clash with Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night.
“Lamine Yamal is in the top three most talented players in the world,” the Portuguese said as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
Yamal has been a revelation since he was promoted into Barcelona’s first team under Xavi a few years ago.
The Spain international finished in second place in the Ballon d’Or rankings last year behind Ousmane Dembele.
He led Barcelona to win the LaLiga title last season and has been impressive so far this term, scoring 14 goals and providing 9 assists in 25 appearances.
