Lamine Yamal is not normal – Saka

Arsenal winger, Bukayo Saka, has described Barcelona’s teen sensation Lamine Yamal as “not normal”.

Saka has been left stunned by the 17-year-old’s performances.

The Barca winger won’t turn 18 until the summer, but has already played 100 games for his club.

“He’s top. Honestly, doing what he is doing at his age, what can you say, he’s unreal,” Saka told Sky Sports.

“It’s not normal. No one does it. I don’t think I’ve seen that level for a 17-year-old, so credit to him.”

Yamal was unbelievably good as Barcelona played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan on Wednesday night.

At his age, Yamal has already surpassed what Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo had done at the same stage of their respective careers.

Through 100 games, Yamal has 49 goals and assists. Messi had 55 after 100 games, but was almost 21 by the time he reached that appearance milestone.

A 19-year-old Ronaldo had managed only 26 goals and assists in his first century of professional outings.
