New contract, high praise! Zidane claims he has 'never seen anything' like Lamine Yamal's magic

Yamal continues to turn heads after a domestic treble-winning season, where he cemented himself as arguably the best player in world football.

The 17-year-old was unplayable, rising from a supremely gifted winger to a genuine contender for the Ballon d'Or.

One man who knows all about winning is former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, and the ex-France star heaped praise on Yamal.

“When you see Yamal play, for example, the semi-final against Inter Milan. I’ve never seen anything like that in my life,” he told reporters at an event.

“Just watch someone who has such a command of his craft on the pitch. It’s fabulous to see him like that.

“We all had fun with him, and that’s why, for all these young players, Lamine is the one to watch.”

The tie with Inter ultimately ended in disappointment for Barcelona but did allow Yamal to cement his status as the most exciting talent in the world on the big European stage.

Meanwhile, Barcelona have announced a contract extension, tying Yamal to the club until 2031.
