Barcelona, ââMay 17, 2025 – The world of football is boiling after the explosive statements of Samuel Eto’o, legend of FC Barcelona, ââwho has broken into the heated debate about who is the best extreme: the young lamine yamal prodigy or the experienced Ousmane Dembélé. The words of the former Cameroonian have unleashed a storm of reactions between fans, analysts and media, ending an argument that has divided the fans for months.
In a recent interview, Eto’o did not walk with Rodeos when addressing the comparison between Yamal, the 17-year-old jewel that has dazzled in the league, and Dembélé, the extreme end that now shines in the Paris Saint-Germain after his passage through Barcelona. Without revealing specific details of his choice, Eto’o highlighted the unique qualities of both players, but made it clear that, for him, one of them has a potential that places him above the other. “One is a generational talent, the other is a great player, but the future belongs to those who know how to take every opportunity,” he said enigmatically.
The debate between Yamal and Dembélé has been a hot topic, especially among the followers. Lamine Yamal, with its self -confidence, dribble and vision of the game, has earned the heart of the Blaugrana fans, being considered the future of the club. On the other hand, Ousmane Dembélé, despite his irregular passage through Barcelona, ââhas demonstrated in the PSG his ability to unbalance with speed and technique, remembering why he was one of the most expensive signings in the history of the Catalan club.
Eto’o statements have fueled the opinions found. In social networks, Barcelona fans celebrate Yamal’s emergence, while others defend Dembélé, arguing that their experience and maturity make it superior in the present. The intervention of a figure like Eto’o, Tricampeón of the League and twice champion of the Champions League with Barça, adds a special weight to the discussion, turning his words into a turning point in this debate.
Meanwhile, within Barcelona, ââthe approach is to continue developing Yamal under the direction of Hansi Flick, who has praised the mentality and talent of the young man. In Paris, Dembélé continues to be a key piece in the PSG scheme, which shows that both players are in a great moment. However, the question persists: Who will reign in the long term?
With Spanish football still celebrating the recent title of the Barcelona League, Eto’o’s words have added a new layer of emotion to the season. Is Yamal chosen to mark an era, or Dembélé still has much to demonstrate? The legend has spoken, but the last word will have the players in the field.
