Steven Gerrard, former Liverpool and England captain, believes Barcelona star Lamine Yamal possesses the attributes to become one of the greatest players of all time. The 19-year-old has rapidly ascended since 2023, securing two LaLiga titles with Barcelona and winning the UEFA European Championship and FIFA World Cup with Spain. Yamal's impressive record includes 62 goals in 167 club games and 37 LaLiga assists, leading to comparisons with legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Gerrard suggests Yamal is currently ahead of Ronaldo and Messi at the same age, noting their later development at Manchester United and Barcelona, respectively. He highlights Yamal's advanced talent for a 19-year-old, even surpassing what he witnessed from Messi as a youngster. Gerrard emphasizes the challenge for Barcelona is maintaining Yamal's hunger and consistency to match the goal-scoring prowess of the established legends.
