Two of the greatest players in the world at the moment, but who had the better breakthrough?
Transcript
00:00In 60 seconds, who you think was better at the age of 18?
00:03Lamine Yamao or Kylian Mbappe?
00:05So when Mbappe first broke out, let's just remember this, by the way.
00:09He was, what, 17 years old, scoring in the Champions League.
00:12He'd won the World Cup by the time he was 18.
00:14He'd already scored, what, like 50-odd goals.
00:16He was one of the most expensive.
00:17I think he was the most expensive transfer as a teenager of all time.
00:21I think then he went to PSG, had loads of expectations going to his boyhood club.
00:25But I don't think that he had the expectation that Yamao did.
00:28Because everyone seems to forget about Ansu Fati, the Lamazia project,
00:32the one that wore the number 10 after Messi.
00:34And then Yamao had to do the same thing.
00:36I feel like everyone just instantly thought, oh, is he going to be another Ansu?
00:39Yamao, though, is probably one of the most exciting players I think I've seen in a good generation.
00:44He's literally generational.
00:45He's won the Euros.
00:46Much like Mbappe, he's won something to prove it.
00:48He does it for club.
00:49He does it for country.
00:50I think in terms of pure entertainment value, because that's what I want to go off football,
00:53you were there to be entertained.
00:55I don't feel like I've been as excited about a player as Yamao for a long time.
00:59For me, in terms of who could be a better player, I think it's Yamao.
01:03I do.
