Lamine Yamal has had a sensational start of his career and he soon became one of the most important players in Barcelona. At the age of 18 he is also considered one of the best young people in world football, although he has a rival.
In the past 12 months, Douse Doue has had a grim turnout in star row. He was a large part of the Paris Saint-Germain side that won their first Champions League title last season, and in all competitions he registered 16 goals and 14 assists in 61 performances for the French giants.
Because of their similar playing styles, Lamine Yamal and Doue are often compared. The latter responded a few months ago to the debate, and although he refused to be drawn too much at that time, he has now made a more definitive explanation.
According to Marca, a fan recently asked Doue about who is better between him and Lamine Yamal, and his reaction was emphatically.
“Very good question! It's me!”
Until now, Lamine Yamal has not publicly spoken about the comments of Doue, nor about the debate itself. He is currently in South Korea with the rest of his Barcelona teammates, while continuing the preparations for the start of the 2025-26 season, which will start in just over two weeks.
Nowadays there is regular discussion about players comparisons – especially on social media. Lamine Yamal will have many backers in this specific, and this will also be the case for Doue, who is only 20 years old. Of the two, they are expected to continue to storm the football world for a large part of the next decade, and if they do, it will be a pleasure to pay attention to anyone who gets to see it.
