Barcelona and Brazil legend Romario has made his pick between Vinicius Junior and Lamine Yamal. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he prefers Yamal to Vinicius because he believes the Spaniard is a difference maker with great technique in front of goal.
Romario added that his preference for Lamine has a lot to do with the fact that he plays for a great club.
His words, “Between Vinicius and Lamine, I’d choose Lamine.
I really like Yamal; he’s one of the most talented players of this new generation of youngsters in world football. I’m certain he can have an exceptional career.
Mainly because he plays for a great club, his team-mates respect him a lot, they know he can make a difference on the pitch, his technique is exceptional, and besides, he knows how to score goals.”
On Barcelona, “After my generation, great teams came and went. The generation of Messi, [Luis] Suarez, Neymar… and now this Barcelona, technically speaking, I don’t think it’s at the same level as Messi’s or mine, but it has three players who make a big difference: Yamal, and Raphinha. It’s a team that has everything it needs to achieve great victories and win the Champions League.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.
The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.
In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
