Gill Clark Gill Clark is the site manager of Barca Blaugranes and joined in 2017. She has worked in sports media as a writer and editor for the best part of two decades and has been in love with the beautiful game for as long as she can remember.

Former Barcelona star Pedro Rodriguez has been quizzed on Lamine Yamal and whether the teenager would make it into the famous MSN team.

Yamal is already known as one of the best in the world after dazzling for club and country, winning La Liga and Copa del Rey titles with Barcelona and the Euros and World Cup with Spain.

Pedro has made it clear that he’s a big fan of Yamal but isn’t too sure if he’d make the starting XI of arguably the best Barcelona time of all time that featured the devastating frontline of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar.

“I don’t know, man, there were some truly great players... I’ve heard some of my teammates say no, others say yes... In the end, what’s clear is that he’s a spectacular talent, but with Messi, Neymar, and Luis Suárez up front, it’s complicated,” he told Cadena SER.

“And so many others, like Henry, Alexis, ‘Ibra’... What’s certain is that we’re talking about a player who is one of the three best in the world, if not the best.

“And with that confidence, that freshness and ease at such a young age, those are very difficult things to do.”

It’s a question that’s been asked of former players regularly since Yamal’s emergence, with Ivan Rakitic saying last year that “we would’ve found a way of fitting Lamine in.”
