Luis Suarez tells Lamine Yamal what he needs to do to improve at Barcelona

Former Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has given his verdict on Lamine Yamal and is thrilled to see the teenager playing a starring role at the Catalan club already.

Yamal is still yet to turn 18, something it’s very easy to forget, but has already become a key player for club and country.

He helped Barca win the double last season and is being tipped to win the Ballon d’Or later this year.

Suarez says he’s happy to see him thriving and has told the youngster to simply enjoy his football if he wants to improve even further.

“Lamine is a player who is showing maturity at an early age compared to others. He shows great maturity at the age of 17,” he told DAZN. “He takes responsibility when he participates in important matches, and he has challenges that he imposes on himself as a Barcelona fan. I am very happy for him. “He has to continue to enjoy himself and continue to gain experience in order to continue to improve. There are still things he needs to learn, as we all learned when we were 18, 20, or 25 years old. He is marking an era and making a big difference.”

Suarez is currently preparing for the Club World Cup with Inter Miami alongside former Barcelona team-mates Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets.
