England football legend Rio Ferdinand admires the talent of Barcelona player Lamine Yamal's game.

According to the expert, the young winger could surpass the two biggest stars of the last decades, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, in the future.

"It's just incredible what L. Yamal was doing on the pitch against Milan's Inter in 45 minutes. I've never seen anything like it, evaluating the performance of not only a young player but any player of any age."

He simply captivates people and is a true artist.

At the age of 17, he surpasses both 17-year-old C. Ronaldo and L. Messi.

The fact that, as a minor, he has already played 100 matches says it all. Both of the aforementioned guys weren't even close to that number," Ferdinand explained.
