The Brazilian football legend Ronaldinho admires the playing of young "Barcelona" talent Lamine Yamal.

According to the ball virtuoso, the 17-year-old Spaniard will soon become a football superstar.

"Lionel Messi and I created football history, and now it’s time for Yamal to take our place."

"It’s incredible what the forward has already achieved at such a young age. I love watching players like him; they bring life to football. I hope Lamine's career will be like ours,” said Ronaldinho.
