Rashford expects Lamine Yamal to win seven Ballon d'Ors

Marcus Rashford praised Lamine Yamal's talent, calling him the most gifted player he has played alongside, and predicted he would contend for the Ballon d'Or for many years.

Rashford said he told Yamal before leaving Barcelona that he had played with many talented players, but Yamal's talent surpassed theirs. He added that he would not be surprised if the player won seven Ballon d'Ors.

Rashford noted that Yamal had finished second, third and eighth in the Ballon d'Or race, pointing to his young age. He then described his talent as the closest to Lionel Messi's level over the years, compared with a player of a similar age.
