Barcelona star Yamal picks out surprise left-back as hardest defender he’s faced

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal does not have much experience, having made his debut in senior football less than two years ago. However, the 17-year-old is used to competing against the best around and has picked the toughest he has ever faced.

Despite facing Real Madrid a number of times, as well as France and England, he came into contact with his toughest opponent at the 2024 European Championship against the home team. Lamine Yamal told Cadena SER during the Golden Boy ceremony that RB Leipzig left-back David Raum has caused him the most problems.

“He's a tough defender. At the European Championship, in the quarter-finals against the Germans, he proved to be a difficult opponent to beat,” said the teenage sensation.

Lamine Yamal was ruled out last week due to an ankle sprain. Lamine Yamal is currently recovering and is expected to return to work after three to four weeks in early to mid-January. When he returns to action, he will undoubtedly be one of the players Hansi Flick is looking to restart their title challenge.
