In a bold decision,
Mundo Deportivo reports that
Lamine Yamal will be entrusted with
penalty and free-kick duties for
Barcelona starting next season. The 16-year-old prodigy, already carrying significant expectations, will now take on even more responsibility in set-piece situations.
While the move signals the club's immense faith in his talent, it has sparked debate among fans and pundits alike. Many feel that placing such weight on a teenager's shoulders might be too much, too soon, potentially affecting his development and confidence.
Yamal has already shown flashes of brilliance, but with added pressure comes greater scrutiny. As one fan put it, “They might be
bothering the youngster with so much responsibility. Let him grow naturally.”
All eyes will be on the young star next season as he steps into an even more pivotal role at the Camp Nou.
