Eden Hazard praised Ousmane Dembele but said Lamine Yamal was the name that surprised the football world.

Eden Hazard praises Lamine Yamal.

In an interview with So Foot, the former Belgian star expressed his admiration for Dembele and Lamine Yamal. Hazard did not hesitate to praise Dembele, saying that his junior deserved the Golden Ball award.

“I am very happy for Dembele, he deserves the Ballon d'Or,” Hazard shared. However, Hazard's focus seemed to be on Yamal. The former Chelsea star could not hide his surprise at what Yamal showed.

“Yamal, what he is doing at his age is really amazing,” Hazard emphasized. He said that, except for Lionel Messi, few players have achieved as impressive achievements as Yamal before turning 18.

According to Hazard, usually, efficiency and stability in competition only come when players accumulate experience over time. However, with Yamal, Hazard commented: "Yamal gives the feeling that he is a player of 26 or 27 years old, with 500 matches in his career, and does everything perfectly."

Yamal only finished second in the 2025 Ballon d'Or race, but Hazard believes that if he continues to play like he is now, the young Barca talent will win the title sooner or later. "It's a matter of time (Yamal winning the Ballon d'Or - PV). Yamal is a talent that only appears once every 30-40 or 50 years," he affirmed.
