Yamal, who has already made history by becoming the youngest player to debut for Barcelona in La Liga and the youngest to score in the competition, is seen as a prodigious talent. However, Puyol emphasizes the need for patience and support from fans and media alike, highlighting that Yamal's development should not be rushed or overshadowed by expectations to emulate Messi's career. The article also touches on Yamal's recent performances, including his goal against Granada, and the broader context of Barcelona's current season, where the team is looking to rebuild with young talents like Yamal at the forefront.
