Lamine Yamal, the 17-year-old, equalised for FC Barcelona, who were down to ten men. After gaining possession of the ball with his left foot after receiving a cross-field pass, he sprinted down the 18-yard box and fired a low effort into the net.

Eric Garcia received a red card after just ten minutes, bringing FC Barcelona down to ten men. Marc-Andre ter Stegen, the custodian, is primarily to blame, though, since he let Takumi Minamino get the ball close to the penalty area, and Garcia immediately saw red after hauling him down. 

AS Monaco took the lead six minutes later after making good use of their extra man advantage. Allowing himself to go towards the FC Barcelona defence, Maghnes Akliouche jinks in the penalty box and fires a low shot into the net.

“ I hope he doesn't get any problems” : Cristiano Ronaldo on Lamine Yamal

Lamine Yamal as well as Jude Bellingham have the potential to be future generation-defining talents, according to Cristiano Ronaldo. At the ages of 17 and 21, respectively, the two, who play for El Clasico adversaries Barcelona and Real Madrid, have been recognised as two of the best players in the world after shining at both the club and international levels.

It's unclear how far Yamal as well as Bellingham can go, but Ronaldo thinks that if luck is on their side, the young football talents will succeed to the pinnacle of the sport. Ronaldo communicated through his YouTube channel, starting with Yamal. He said, "I see huge potential and great talent. He needs luck, because he is very young. I hope he doesn't get any problems.

The former Real Madrid striker said, "He has competition that helps him a lot. The Spain national team is really, really good, and I think he has huge potential. Let's see what's going to happen. I believe he's going to be one of the best players for this new generation."
