Despite having played in the best Barça of all time, that of the MSN, Ivan Rakitic (37) believe that with Lamine Yamal That celestial team would have reached even higher levels. The Croatian, who dressed in Barça between 2014 and 2020, has extolled the Spanish international in an interview in 'The Independent'.
“The truth is that it was very difficult to bring someone to that team, it was whoever. But the good players are always welcome, they can always help, and they asked me if there would be space for Lamine Yamal in our team at that time. If you play with Leo Messi, there is no space for anyone, but we would have found a way to fit Lamine. Everyone would have done it, that is obvious. He is an incredible player.”

Rakitic believes that Lamine would deserve to take the Golden Ball this year, against those who think he is very young to win it: “We talk about a 17 -year -old kid, this tells us that it is not a matter of age. Or you are there or are not.” “If I had reached the Champions League final, we would not have doubted that he would win the prize this year. It is an individual prize, but the titles also tell. I would tell you that even without the final of the Champions League, especially for its performance in recent months, it would be a possible winner between two or three candidates. For me, personally, it is the favorite.”
