  • Lamine Yamal continues to dominate the headlines with his showing against Villarreal
  • The youngster was named player of the match against the Yellow Submarines

Lamine Yamal’s sizzling performance at the Estadio La Ceramica against Villarreal surely left many in awe of the abundance of talent possessed by the 16-year-old.

The La Masia graduate who provided the assist for Barcelona’s opening goal was very instrumental in ensuring Xavi Hernandez’s side completed their comeback win against Quique Setien’s highflying Villarreal.

Fans visibly in awe of the youngster’s ability have continued to react on social media following his display, with a few tipping him to fill in the void created by the sudden departure of Lionel Messi in 2021.

Amid all the reaction and plaudits met to Lamine, a photo of the young forward with a Real Madrid legend has flooded the internet.

Lamine photo with Ramos emerges

The young Spanish forward photo with Sergio Ramos has stirred several reactions after ESPN posted a picture of the Barcelona star from 2016, where he was the matchday mascot handed to then Real Madrid captain Ramos in the first leg of the 2016/17 El Clasico at the Camp Nou.

The fixture which will eventually end in a 1-1 draw courtesy of a late Ramos equalizer, was instrumental to Los Blancos securing their first league title under then coach Zinedine Zidane.

Making his stance clear on the picture, @Jiji_Byte tweeted:

“Already better than Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo.”

@setus4u also replied:

“La Masia produced the best player ever in history. The hype is justified.”

@Miezah66 tweeted:

“If he wanna be that great he should move to Madrid.”

Amid the mixed reaction that has trailed the photo, one fact many fans have inadvertently agreed to is the amazing ability possessed by the young forward.

Sports Brief in another report stated a photo of young forward Lamine Yamal meeting Lionel Messi recently trailed the internet.

Lamine continues to impress with his stellar performances following his debut against Real Betis in the late part of the 2022/23 football season.

The picture - captioned ‘When Leo Messi met the future GOAT’ - attracted several reactions from fans of Barcelona and opposition supporters, who seem to agree about the sheer genius of Yamal.
