Barcelona ere dumped out of the quarter-finals of the Champions League by Atletico Madrid but still remain top of La Liga by some distance.
Yamal has 15 goals and 11 assists in 27 games for the Spanish giants as he leads the side to another league title at just 18 years old.
The teenager has racked up 23 goals and 18 assists in 44 appearances across all competitions and is constantly compared to club legend Lionel Messi due to his numbers and skill on the pitch.
Speaking to Stake, Aguero revealed that he believes Yamal can easily be named as one of the best players on the planet alongside Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe.
“There are many people who make different comparisons, but as a player, and based on my experience in football, he is one who is as good as the very best. Having good and bad games is normal - I want everyone to go and watch him. The movements, the passes, the dribbling, the agility he has and how he gets out of situations that look impossible… the guy who did that before was Leo Messi.
“Today there is no comparison for me. Lamine is above many players. Maybe you can say Mbappé today, but we know the kind of player he is - very aggressive in 1v1, he has goals, he’s very good. But Lamine has other things that not many have. I like those short passes and those decisions… they are different. It’s very difficult to stop Lamine.
“As a player it’s very complicated. Beyond some games, today he is showing it. When I started watching Barca after he broke through I had no words to describe it. He has a talent that is very difficult to find. You have to enjoy him.”
Barcelona could take another big step towards their second straight title by beating Celta Vigo in their next game on April 22nd where Yamal will again play a huge role.
