Real Madrid defender, Antonio Rudiger, has praised Barcelona’s winger, Lamine Yamal for his brilliant performances for Blaugrana, saying that the 17-year-old has been exceptional so far.

In a statement obtained from Fabrizio Romano’s X handle on Friday, Rudiger said, “What Lamine is doing is ridiculous! You have to give him credit. He plays for Barcelona at 17, what he did at the Euros… I hope he stays healthy, he has a brilliant future”.

“It’s pretty scary what he’s doing, to be fair!”,

The teenager has already featured in 61 matches for the first team of the Catalan giants and has also contributed towards 26 goals (12 goals, 14 assists).

He was a key figure in Xavi’s team last season and played a massive part in Spain’s triumph at Euro 2024.

He has also made an exceptional start to the new campaign under Hansi Flick with 10 goal contributions in as many outings.

Real Madrid will host Barcelona on Oct 26, 2024, to defend their La Liga title at the Bernabeu.
