2026-07-27

Speaking about Yamal's performance in the recently concluded World Cup, Polish legend Robert Lewandowski did not hold back: “Honestly, we didn’t see Yamal at his best. For me, his top performances were displayed a few seasons ago while playing for Barcelona.” He highlighted that Yamal participated in the tournament after missing eight weeks of action due to injury, and despite his commendable performances, it was clear that the effects of his injury prevented him from reaching his peak form.

Lewandowski emphasized that the key to Spain's success lies in the strength of the entire team, rather than individual brilliance. He noted, “What truly shines is the power of the team, not just the ability of a single player.” Through these remarks, Lewandowski once again showcased his deep understanding and analysis of football, acknowledging Yamal's potential and expressing hope for his future contributions.
