Cristiano Ronaldo addressed the media before the UEFA Nations League final, discussing 17-year-old Lamine Yamal, whom he will face for the first time. Ronaldo praised Yamal’s talent but cautioned against putting too much pressure on the young player, suggesting comparisons should be made with players closer to Yamal’s generation. Additionally, Ronaldo expressed skepticism about individual awards like the Ballon d’Or, stating they should go to players who excel in the Champions League, rather than emerging talents like Yamal.
