\u201cLamine Yamal is doing very well, he is taking full advantage of his talent. Now let the kid grow and don\u2019t put too much pressure on him. Let him be and let him grow well, take the pressure off him. He has no shortage of talent.\u201d<\/p>\n Ronaldo, who was praised by Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon<\/a> ahead of the UEFA Nations League final, also laughed off comparisons between himself and Lamine Yamal, whom he believes should be likened to players in his own generation.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s always been Cristiano against this or that, I\u2019m used to it. They are different generations, one begins and the other ends. They should compare Lamine with Vitinha, who is closer (to his generation). But no problem, I\u2019m left with the criticism. In reality, it is one selection against another. But I understand, the media heats up the game, it\u2019s nice and normal. What I want most is for Portugal to be at a good level and win, against a team that is probably the best in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Lamine Yamal is considered to be one of the frontrunners for the 2025 Ballon d\u2019Or, but according to Ronaldo, the teenager should not win the award \u2013 instead, he believes it should go to a Paris Saint-Germain player.<\/p>\n \u201cThe individual awards have lost some consensus; I can\u2019t say anything about who should win. In my opinion, those who stand out and win the Champions League should win. But there is no consensus. I don\u2019t believe much in individual awards because I know what goes on behind the scenes. Lamine could win, like Dembele or Vitinha, other emerging players\u2026 But individual awards are irrelevant.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Cristiano Ronaldo dismisses Lamine Yamal as 2025 Ballon d’Or favourite<\/a> appeared first on Football Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cristiano Ronaldo spoke to the media on Saturday, and during his press conference, he discussed Lamine Yamal, whom he will face for the first time during Sunday\u2019s UEFA Nations League final between Spain and Portugal.
