After a grueling 90 minutes on the pitch, defender Álex Valle couldn’t hide his emotions. Exhausted yet awestruck, he described the experience in just a few words: “Ninety minutes… a nightmare… Lamine Yamal is the Messi of our generation.”
It wasn’t an empty compliment. Throughout the match, Yamal showcased an almost supernatural blend of vision, ball control, and fearlessness the kind of raw magic that leaves even his teammates struggling to keep up. Every touch seemed premeditated, every move a reminder that Barcelona might be witnessing the rise of a player destined to carry the torch of greatness into a new era.
For Valle, it wasn’t just about skill it was about the feeling. The same awe, the same disbelief, the same “how is this possible?” moments that once defined the Messi years were suddenly back… this time in the boots of a teenager rewriting expectations before our eyes.
