Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has joined the long list of stars praising Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal, following his brilliant start to the 2025/26 La Liga season.
The 18-year-old winger was the standout performer as Barcelona swept aside Mallorca 3–0 in their league opener on Saturday. Lamine provided the assist for the first goal before sealing the victory with a superb left-footed strike — yet another reminder of why he’s already seen as one of the brightest talents in world football.
Omo, see as Kane dey hail am o! Speaking in an interview with Marca over the weekend, the England captain couldn’t hide his admiration:
“He’s a fantastic player. Obviously, the fact that he’s doing what he’s doing at such a young age is incredible. He looks like he has a great future ahead of him. Let’s see if we face Barcelona in the Champions League this year. I’m happy for him; he’s a fantastic player.”
Kane’s words add to the growing recognition surrounding Yamal, who recently inherited Barcelona’s iconic No. 10 shirt. Despite his age, he has already shown maturity, creativity, and match-winning quality that makes him a nightmare for defenders.
Omo, this one sweet Barça fans die! When one of the best strikers in the world gives you flowers, you know say levels don change.
With Bayern and Barcelona both expected to be strong contenders in the Champions League, Kane even hinted at a possible showdown between himself and Yamal later this year — a clash fans across Europe would love to see.
For now, Yamal will be focused on continuing his blistering start to the season, while Kane keeps an eye on Europe’s biggest stage where their paths could cross.
