Players and coaches alike have been heaping praise on La Masia gem for the past six months.

Ex-Blaugrana defender and now youth team coach Rafa Marquez jumped on the praise train as well.

“Lamine belongs to that group of gifted kids who have this innate talent and no matter what age they are, they can compete in any category and make a difference.

“Ronaldinho, Messi… Lamine can be the next. He has all the qualities, but you have to be careful because he is still a child.”
