Cole Palmer: 'Yamal is the best in the world'

Lamine Yamal explodes in the 2024/25 season.

According to Palmer, the 17-year-old's performance is "unbelievable", and he believes Yamal is the best player in the world right now. "Lamine Yamal? That's crazy, right? Honestly, I think he's the best player in the world," Palmer said.

This praise comes in the context of Yamal's explosive form in the most important stage of the season. Although Barcelona could not overcome Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-finals, the player born in 2007 still left a strong impression with his classy performance against both Inter and Real Madrid in recent matches. Yamal's confidence, fiery fighting spirit and ability to create breakthroughs are making the whole of Europe admire him.

Palmer also expressed admiration for Yamal’s maturity and extraordinary character – despite his colleague still being a teenager, having just turned 17. “I felt like the whole team was playing for him, and when you watch the game, it’s crazy,” he said. “He’s so confident, so fearless, and I really enjoy watching him.”

Asked if Palmer could have imagined playing at such a high level at the age of 17, the England international couldn't hide his humour: "I don't know, I've never tried it! (laughs)".

Recognition from a rising star like Palmer only further cements Lamine Yamal’s place on the football world map. Despite his young age, Yamal’s work at Barcelona is clear evidence that the football world is witnessing the emergence of a new superstar.
