Lamine Yamal has been key in FC Barcelona's proclamation as champion of this edition of LaLiga. The youth player, only 17 years old, has participated in 33 matches with records of 8 goals and 15 assists. This marks the second League in his record, matching all the ones Cristiano Ronaldo won during his time with Real Madrid. As it could not be otherwise, this has been taken advantage of by Jota Jordi, who has not hesitated to use this fact.
Jota Jordi ridicules Cristiano Ronaldo
In a message posted on his X account, formerly known as Twitter, Jota Jordi did not hold back. The panelist from El Chiringuito was blunt, reminding that Lamine Yamal already has the same Leagues as Cristiano Ronaldo throughout his career.
"If Lamine at 17 years old has the same Leagues as Cristiano Ronaldo, it is said and nothing happens", Jota Jordi said.
It was a message heavily criticized on social media, generating nearly 10,000 interactions. Many remind Jota Jordi that, Cristiano Ronaldo, besides winning the League twice in Spain, did the same by winning it three times in England and another two in Italy. This would mean seven domestic championships throughout his career, five more than Lamine Yamal.
As is usual among Real Madrid fans, they have also highlighted the Champions Leagues won. But they have forgotten, for example, the European Championships, with Lamine Yamal already tying him at only 17 years old.
Lamine Yamal: Aiming for a historic career
Beyond Jota Jordi's words and his more or less accurate comparison with Cristiano Ronaldo, the reality is that Lamine Yamal looks to be a historic player. At 17 years old, most soccer fans already see him as the top favorite to win the Ballon d'Or, having been key for Barça in winning the League, Cup, and Super Cup.
What Lamine Yamal is clear about is that he moves past comparisons and wants to make his own career. He is capable of making history and there has never been another talent like him at his age. He keeps calm and hopes to conquer everything with Barça: for the next season he has already promised that he will fight for the Champions again. In 2025 it was not possible, but in 2026 it may be different...
