  1. CBS golazo youtube team, hire me because you need someone on your team to know to change "Club and NT" to "Club and Country" in the powerpoint presentation

  2. Yamal can do it all, Mbappe is a pace merchant with good finishing. Mbappe hasn't gotten any better since he was 18. Yamal is getting better all the time.

  3. Two diffrent players tho.
    But Lamine feels more complete at young age.. he just dont have that goal score hunger and luck as Mbappe had. But that also can be cause the ideologi of Barca style everyone scores. They dont only rely on one player as Madrid have been doing these last year sense Mbappe joined

  4. Lamine Yamal as a teenager is better because of what he achieved in the euros.

    But it depends on the World Cup this summer. If Spain wins the World Cup then for sure this debate is over if not then it’s still Mbappe, and if France wins the World Cup then Mbappe will surpass Pele yet alone Lamine 😂

  5. Lol alot of people here are clearly too young to have witnessed the rise of Mbappe, don't get me wrong yamal is special but kylian was just something else

  6. Yamal is just better in every metric.
    Even those that Mbappe is better at, like 10 UCL goals age 18, Lamine will probably break.
    Mbappe had it age 18 and 11 months. Lamine only needs 2 goals in this UCL campaign to break it, since he is currently 18 and 6 months.
    Also the numbers don't even do him justice.
    You can subtract about 20 games because age 15 he did not get the playing time he gets today. Coming on in the 70th obviously leads to less G/A.
    I think age 21, Lamine will easily have 300 G/A. Comparing him to any wonderkid is just stupid.
    And the World Cup final argument? Lamine has shown his worth in the Euros. What does the commentator mean when he says step up for the country.

  7. Kylian Mbappe was so unlucky that when he busted into the scenes, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi were still delivering milestones and breaking records, that Mbappe's display was overshadowed.

    Lamine Yamal doesn't have anyone's shadow obstructing him.

    Messi was delivering at 18, but Ronaldimho was at his peak and all Messi's displays weren't really appreciated.

  8. The other guy is talking like we didn't see 16 year old Yamal carry Spain in the Euros, even beating Prime Mbappe in the semis😂😂talking about "until Yamal scores a goal in world cup final" get outta here…

  9. Mbappé is world wide famous as much as CR7 and Messi! He’s a captain of French team, he’s the face of major tournaments…everyone waits what’s Mbappé gonna do after each match, he can increase views of a championship…the guy is so good that he forces Real Madrid to be his team after season to only …won most individual trophies in La liga in year 1! 😂

  10. Hey dude
    You talk to much. Do me a favor and watch. I get it. You can't believe yamal is doing all these thing at that age. I smell something. And it's your jealousy 😂😂

  11. Unless yamal can repeat this performance for 4-5 yeqrs then maybe we can debate. We all thought mbappe could catch up with messi and ronaldo but no. So yup. Lets see first.

  12. 13:02 — “es demasiado desgaste para un adolescente… y te hace preguntar si podrá mantener la dedicación de un Cristiano o un Messi, porque no es solo consistencia en el campo, sino también lo que haces fuera para sostener una carrera tan grande.”

    Un análisis espectacular, equilibrado y profundo sobre dos talentos generacionales; realmente eleváis el debate con datos y contexto de primer nivel.

  13. French league? Really? is that the comparison and with that underrated Monaco squad? Lamine helped a struggling Barca squad and a Spain squad that didn't seem like a bunch of Superstars. So it's definitely Lamine.
