Former Barcelona and Atletico Madrid player Sergio Aguero put Lamine Yamal above Vinicius in terms of their individual performances with less than 48 hours to go until the first ‘Clasico’ of the season.
This Saturday’s ‘Clasico’ attracts everyone’s attention, whether they are football fans or not. A match of this nature paralyzes society in search of the best team in Spain, and the Bernabeu will be no less. There, the favourite for the Ballon d’Or, Vinicius, and Lamine Yamal, a 17-year-old who is knocking down the doors without a second thought, will face each other.
Sergio Aguero, who knows what it’s like to play in the Barcelona jersey, spoke about the two of them. “In style of play, speaking of talent, Lamine has many more things than Vinicius, although this has more experience and is more of a player with titles won with Madrid. Vini is ‘top 3’ in the world but for age and talent, I prefer Lamine Yamal. If it were up to me, I would have one on each side of my team and let the rival pray,” said Aguero in ‘Mundo Deportivo’.
Vini pairs with Mbappe at Real Madrid, especially now that Rodrygo is injured and will not play in the ‘Clasico’: “What one has, the other doesn’t, and vice versa. Mbappé must try to adapt to Madrid’s game. In Paris he stayed up top and waited for counterattacks to kill. You don’t see the Mbappé of PSG who used to destroy the opponent. Playing against Madrid, you have to protect Vinicius’ area. He’s the one who changes the game and hurts you.”
About the ‘Clasico’, he said that “it will be a nice match”. “I won’t bet, but Barca is doing very well. The pitch always influences and it will be complicated, but they have more options to win than Madrid, although they don’t even need 20% of the ball and score. In the last 10 minutes they have things that the rest don’t have. I suffered it at Atletico. They say it’s luck but it’s not like that. If you win so many times on the hour, it’s not luck, but something the rest don’t have,” he added.
