People talk a lot about his private life. I think they should leave Lamine Yamal alone.

On the pitch he is a great player, but off the pitch Yamal is just an 18 year old boy , an age where everyone makes mistakes and grows up.

Lamine Yamal is extremely talented and I hope he continues on his path and achieves the success he deserves. Yamal just needs to focus on football .”

Mbappe's respect for Lamine Yamal is evident, despite them being rivals at both club and national level.

Yamal and Spain beat France and Mbappe in the semi-finals of EURO 2024, before going to Europe. The boy also enjoyed the joy of wearing Barca's shirt in the El Clasico with Real Madrid.

The reason Mbappe has understanding and sympathy for Yamal is because he also became famous early, debuted for Monaco at the age of 16 and attracted all the attention of the French media when he was still a young boy.

At the age of 26, Mbappe has appeared in the World Cup final twice, becoming a world champion at the age of 19, and is preparing to attend this festival for the third time next year.

This season, Mbappe has shown formidable form, scoring 14 goals in 10 matches for Real Madrid, including 9 goals in La Liga and 5 goals in the Champions League.
