Carvajal Says Lamine Yamal Could Become a Future Ballon d’Or Winner
Real Madrid skipper Dani Carvajal has spoken highly of Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, praising his rapid rise in world football.
Carvajal, who shares the Spanish national team camp with Yamal, admitted he was impressed by how much the 18-year-old has achieved at such a young age. He even tipped the youngster as a strong contender for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
Yamal has been in superb form since Euro 2024, playing a key role in Hansi Flick’s Barcelona side that secured a domestic treble last season. His performances have also earned him a place among the 30 nominees for this year’s Ballon d’Or.
Speaking to Cadena SER, Carvajal said that making an impact at the highest level at just 18 is no small feat, noting that he himself was still at Castilla at that age. However, he stayed clear of predicting whether Yamal would actually win the Ballon d’Or, pointing out that he wasn’t part of the voting panel.
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
