‘New King’: The former Barca player once dubbed the “new Messi” was also stunned by Yamal’s goal against France

Spain beat France 2-1 in the Euro 2024 semi-final, advancing to the final. Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal deserves much of the credit, scoring an equaliser with a spectacular long-range shot.

After Lamine scored, ex-Barcelona winger Gerard Deulofeu posted on his Twitter: “The new king is coming”.

Just like Yamal, Deulofeu made his Barca debut at a really young age (at 17) and was nicknamed the new Messi. However, his career didn’t go so well – after a difficult battle with injuries, he is currently playing for Udinese.
