Jota Jordi Stirs up Social Media with His Most Controversial Post: Lamine Yamal

Barcelona's victory in the Spanish Supercopa is linked with another rout. This time against Real Betis, in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey. Flick's men seem to have regained the invincibility they showed at the beginning of the current soccer season with very lopsided results in their favor. Things are going well again in the City of Barcelona, and Jota Jordi boasts about it on social media.

Especially after a really tough December, where they lost all the point advantage they had in the LaLiga standings: now they're third... far from the leadership battle between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid. Be that as it may, Jota Jordi seems to have placed all his trust in a very specific player.

None other than Lamine Yamal. The '19' is showing he has the level necessary to play in the most demanding national competitions, with brilliant performances in the Champions League. Even though he hasn't yet faced the knockout stages of the top continental competition, Jota Jordi is very clear that the Catalan center-forward "is the world's best player".

His good performances against Madrid, both in LaLiga and in the Spanish Supercopa, certify that his talent is practically unstoppable. However, he still seems to be far from the debate in which Jota Jordi quickly includes Lamine. Especially because his time in the European and Spanish soccer elite isn't as extensive as that of other contenders.

There's still a long way to go

Vinícius or Kylian Mbappé have a lot to say about it. Real Madrid's '7' verdeamarelo isn't at his best, but he came close to winning his first Ballon d'Or, while Lamine Yamal ranked eighth. Jota Jordi insists on placing Lamine Yamal at the top of world soccer, reminding that "he's 17 years old and from La Masia".

While it's true that FC Barcelona's youth academy seems to have produced an excellent 'batch' of soccer talent, their prominence comes due to the club's dire economic situation. Unable to make high-profile transfers like those achieved by Madrid recently, the sports management has resorted to the most immediate and economically feasible solution.

The comparisons featuring Lamine Yamal with great soccer talents are becoming more common. However, there's still a long way to go for FC Barcelona's '19' to be in the "best player in the world" conversation... even though he's started that journey with more than acceptable competitive credentials.

Jota Jordi can only celebrate that FC Barcelona has regained some of the good dynamics they lost shortly before the Christmas break. Recovering lost ground in LaLiga and securing qualification for the Champions League round of 16 are the goals in the City of Barcelona. There's no doubt that Lamine Yamal will once again be the reference for the blaugrana club to achieve them.
