| Luis Suarez Shares Wise Advice for Lamine Yamal Amid Growing Ballon d'Or Hype. |
Luis Suárez, the veteran Uruguayan striker now playing for Inter Miami, has shared some thoughtful advice for Barcelona’s rising star, Lamine Yamal. This comes as Yamal finds himself at the center of growing speculation around his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or—despite still being just 17 years old!
The young winger had a phenomenal season with Barcelona, playing a key role in securing three trophies for the Catalan club. While Barcelona fell short in the Champions League, Yamal’s consistent excellence has earned him a spot in the conversation for the most prestigious individual award in world football.
Suárez, who was part of the last Barcelona squad to win the Champions League, had nothing but praise for Yamal and didn’t miss the chance to offer some veteran guidance. In an interview with DAZN, he highlighted Yamal's maturity and courage to step up in high-pressure moments.
“Lamine is a player who’s showing incredible maturity at just 17,” Suárez said. “He’s not afraid to take responsibility in big matches, and you can tell he truly loves the club. I’m really happy for him.”
The former Barcelona forward emphasized the importance of enjoying the journey and continuing to learn, reminding everyone that growth doesn’t stop—no matter how talented a player is at a young age.
“He needs to keep enjoying himself and gaining experience. We all had to learn when we were 18, 20, even 25. But there’s no denying he’s making a huge impact and writing his own chapter in football history,” Suárez added.
Yamal, for his part, isn’t backing down from the challenge. After Spain’s heartbreaking loss to Portugal in the UEFA Nations League final, he vowed to help restore Barcelona’s dominance in European football next season. He’s also shown no fear in making subtle digs at arch-rivals Real Madrid—clearly confident in his own game.
With all eyes on him, the pressure is mounting. His name has been thrown into Ballon d’Or discussions, especially since he helped Barcelona win La Liga twice before turning 18. His national team coach, Luis De la Fuente, has publicly backed him to win the award. However, the spotlight is also on Ousmane Dembélé, who guided PSG to their first Champions League title with standout performances.
In this intense atmosphere, the words from a club legend like Suárez might be just what Yamal needs to stay grounded. Focus, joy, and humility will be essential tools if he wants to navigate the road ahead and continue to rise.
In short, Suárez's advice is a powerful reminder that while Lamine Yamal's potential is sky-high, embracing the learning process is just as important. If he does, the Ballon d'Or could be just the beginning—and Barcelona’s next golden era might be closer than we think.
