Lamine Yamal gets wet: "If I were Julián, I would come to Barça; it's the best club in the world"
In full World Cup the young star of Barça and the Spanish national team has had time to talk about current events
BarcelonaIn the midst of the 2026 World Cup, Lamine Yamal has made a double media appearance where he has once again made headlines, as is usual every time he comments on any current issue. The young star of Barça and the Spanish national team has granted interviews to The crossbar of the SER chain and to The great Cope match, in which he has analyzed the tournament, his physical state, the moment of Luis de la Fuente's team and the current affairs of Barça.
The Barça footballer has been optimistic about Spain's chances and convinced of the group's potential, while acknowledging that they have not yet reached their best level. "Everyone expected more from us, but the most important thing is to win," he assured. On a personal note, he said that the World Cup "is different from everything" and that he has progressed after the injury he suffered: "Now I feel much better and with more feeling with the ball," he assured.
About Julián Álvarez
He has also had time to talk about Barça and the transfer market, with a clear message about Julián Álvarez, the Argentine forward for Atlético de Madrid: “If I were him, I would come to Barça; it’s the best club in the world,” he stated, and defended the Catalan club’s ability to continue attracting great footballers.
In full World Cup competition, with stars like Messi, Mbappé, Haaland, and Vinícius who have already left their mark, Lamine has also wanted to highlight some standout names from the tournament. He has particularly praised Messi and Vinícius and has placed the Moroccan Ismael Saibari, born in Catalonia, as one of the revelations of the World Cup.
He has also spoken openly about pressure and fame. The Catalan footballer has admitted that he often misses normality and family, but that he lives with it naturally: “I know where I come from and that pushes me to give my all.” A pressure that he has also experienced in this World Cup, as Spanish fans are demanding that his name appear at the level of the other great stars who have already made their mark in the tournament. He will have another opportunity to prove it in Spain’s next match, this Thursday at 9 PM against Austria.
