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 heart of the 2026 World Cup, Lamine Yamal has made a double media appearance where he has once again made headlines, as is usual whenever he comments on any current topic. The young star of Barça and the Spanish national team has granted interviews to The crossbar from the SER chain and to The great match of Cope, in which he has analyzed the tournament, his physical condition, the moment of Luis de la Fuente's team and the current situation of Barça.
The Barcelona footballer has shown optimism about Spain's chances and is 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 feel for 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, an Argentine striker 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 players.
In the midst of the World Cup competition, with stars like Messi, Mbappé, Haaland, and Vinícius who have already made their mark, Lamine has also wanted to highlight some of the tournament's standout players. He has particularly praised Messi and Vinícius and has placed the Moroccan Ismael Saibari, born in Catalonia, as one of the World Cup revelations.
He has also spoken openly about pressure and fame. The Catalan footballer admitted that he often misses normality and his family, but that he lives with it naturally: “I know where I come from and that drives me to give my all.” A pressure that he has also experienced in this World Cup, as Spanish fans demand that his name be mentioned alongside the other great stars who have already left their mark on the tournament. He will have another opportunity to prove it in Spain's next match, this Thursday at 9 p.m. against Austria.
