Cristiano Ronaldo, one of Portugal’s greatest football players, has spoken up about the pressure being put on 17-year-old Spanish star Lamine Yamal.

After helping his team win the UEFA Nations League final on Sunday, Ronaldo praised Yamal’s talent but warned that too much pressure at such a young age could be harmful.

Yamal played for Spain in the exciting final, but the match ended in heartbreak for his side. The game finished 2-2 after extra time, and Spain lost 5-4 in the penalty shootout.

Despite the loss, Yamal continues to impress fans and experts. Many have compared him to football icons like Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, even though he’s still a teenager.

So far, Yamal has achieved a lot. He has won the European Championship, La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Supercopa. Ronaldo believes Yamal will win many more trophies if people let him focus on his game.

Ronaldo called Yamal a rare talent and said he believes the young player will collect both team and individual awards in the years ahead.

He added that Yamal is just starting his journey and could win multiple Nations League titles in the future.

To wrap up his message, Ronaldo reminded everyone that Yamal is only 17 and still growing. He urged fans and media to leave the young star alone and let him develop at his own pace.
