Lamine The Dream: Micah Richards coins nickname for Barcelona phenom Lamine Yamal after dazzling in UCL

Where were you when you were 17? For Lamine Yamal, he is rewriting history with every staircase of the ball. Score against Inter and also push Barcelona forward in one 3-3 Draw in the first stage Of the semi -final of the Champions League, what Yamal does unheard of. Tuesday was his 100th performance for Barcelona, ​​and at that time he has 50 target contributions for the club (22 goals, 28 assists). Every player would like to do that, but he does it in braces before he turns 18.

It is really remarkable, and although Yamal has insufficient words about how we can describe his game, one thing he has not has a nickname, but that could change after the Micah Richards of CBS Sports “Lamine the Dream” had devised during the UEFA Champions League today after the game.

It is amazingly looking at Yamal in Barcelona when one of the few players who is matched what he is currently doing in his first 100 senior games is Lionel Messi, who had 41 goals and 15 assists. Although that is ahead of Yamal’s contributions, it is not a significant rate when considering the increase in Yamal in production this season and playing many more matches at his age than Messi. But Yamal may have already beaten Messi in the nickname department.

Messi’s nickname of “La Pluga”, which translates into “The Flea”, is not something that rolls off the tongue in English, such as “Lamine the Dream”. Given the confidence of Yamal that Barcelona will win the Treble, his own dreams are also quite large, despite winning the euros with Spain and La Liga with Barcelona. Heaven is the limit for what he can achieve, because even Messi did not make his Barcelona debut in La Liga until he was already 17. Yamal came for an amazing 15 years and nine months.

Intended for quantity, he already shows what he can do on the field and quickly rises the ranks to be one of the best players in the world before his 18th birthday. It is difficult to understand what he can do from here, but we can all witness greatness while Yamal lives his dream on the field for his boys’ club, now with a nickname that might remain.
