While Messi drives a Bentley, the car in which Lamine Yamal is going to train

Throughout history, the economic situation of footballers changed greatly as business increased and today salaries are very high to the level that they can save several generations of their family. Of course, a clear example of this is Lionel Messi, the best player in the world and the greatest of all time for many. That's why you can afford to drive a Bentley without any problems. And while he does that, young people like Barcelona's sensation boy, Lamine Yamal, are already going down that path.

Yamal is the youngest player in the squad, but it is clear that this player, only 16 years old, is shaking up all of Spain and all of Europe with his great quality. The fact is that even Xavi Hernández himself already trusts him a lot to take ownership on a regular basis despite the great competition in that position. Without a doubt, a glove prize for such a young boy.

The underage midfielder is one of the best players to emerge in recent times in this Catalan club and he demonstrates it by playing up to what such a great institution demands. It's not for nothing that with just a few first-class games he already has a market value of 50 million euros, according to Transfermarkt. Emerging from the Barça quarry, for now he tries to show himself as a humble boy who only focuses on football.

Far from the base model Bentley Bentayga EWB that would be around 286 thousand dollars that Leo Messi bought when he arrived at Inter Miami, the footballer Lamine Yamal arrived in another way to train Barcelona.

The thing is that on more than one occasion the 16-year-old boy was seen sharing a vehicle with his teammates, meaning that he arrives at the practices at the Catalan club's premises without driving and he still does not have a vehicle of his own. Yes arrived with a BMW truck and a Cupra.

Background on Lamine Yamal

Lamine Yamal is the new young star of FC Barcelona. His complete name is Lamine Yamal Nasraoui Ebana. Yamal grew in Spain, despite his parents are from Morocco and from Equatorial Guinea.

He started to play soccer at a very young age, and then he entered to La Masia. In 2023 Xavi Hernandez decide to give him a call for FC Barcelona's first team, and he made his official debut in La Liga at the age of 15, breaking all kind of records.

His performances make the fans remember about his greatest star in FC Barcelona's history: Lionel Messi. As Messi, Yamal is also left footed, and they share the same skills style. In the last "Gamper's Trophy", Lamine shone. Despite only playing 10 minutes, he was capable of providing an assist and also participate in the goals for FC Barcelona's comeback against Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

Many believe that his performance was comparable to Messi's one in the Gamper of 2005 against Juventus, where Fabio Capello, Juventus coach at that time, praised Messi and predicted, correctly, that Lionel was going to be one of the greatest of the game.

The future seems bright ahead of Lamine Yamal, but fans should take it calmly and not spread all the pressure on him. They already lived a similar situation with Ansu Fati, who was also a very talented young player from FC Barcelona, but he lost the touch and quality with the pass of the years. He even had to be loaned to the Premier League, more specifically to Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club.
