Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has praised Barcelona’s teenage star Lamine Yamal, calling his performances “not normal.” The 17-year-old has left many in awe with his skill and impact on the pitch, and Saka is no exception. Despite being just a few months shy of his 18th birthday, Yamal has already racked up 100 appearances for Barcelona.

“He’s on another level. Honestly, what he’s doing at his age is unreal,” Saka told Sky Sports. “It’s not normal. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it from a 17-year-old, so full credit to him.” Yamal was outstanding in Barcelona’s thrilling 3-3 Champions League semi-final draw against Inter Milan on Wednesday, showing maturity beyond his years.

At his age, Yamal has already outperformed legends like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at similar points in their careers. In 100 games, Yamal has contributed 49 goals and assists, while Messi had 55 by the time he reached that milestone, though he was almost 21. Meanwhile, a 19-year-old Ronaldo had just 26 goals and assists after his first 100 professional appearances.

Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.

He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
