Lamine Yamal commented on his soccer achievements without exactly showing much modesty.

Speaking to “Movistar,” the young Barcelona star addressed the titles he has already celebrated and remarked:

“There are great players like Messi, Ronaldo, and Maradona, but I don’t think anyone has ever won so much at such a young age. There was Pelé, but in the modern era, no one, I think.
