Lamine Yamal overcame a last gasp injury scare to keep his spot in the Barcelona starting XI for their Champions League semifinal first leg against Inter.

Yamal need only look around the Barcelona locker room to be reminded of the pitfalls of too much, too young. Pedri’s first season saw him start 57 games and in a period of 298 days, he played 63 times, averaging a game every four days. A hamstring injury that ruled him out for 100 days came as little surprise.

At just 17 years old, Lamine Yamal appears to be the natural successor to Lionel Messi as the face of FC Barcelona for the next decade—at least.
