Ferdinand Hails Yamal as Best 17-Year-Old Ever—Ahead of Messi and Ronaldo
Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand has stirred debate by declaring Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal superior to both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at the same age.
Speaking on his Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, the former England defender lauded the 17-year-old for his extraordinary development and impact on the game, arguing that neither Messi nor Ronaldo had reached Yamal’s current level during their teenage years.
“Yes! Lamine Yamal is better than Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi at 17 years old,” Ferdinand said confidently, pointing to the Spanish star’s maturity, technical skill, and composure on the big stage.
