FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has sent a warning to Lamine Yamal after his meteoric rise in the last few months.
The 17-year-old has established himself as a key player for both Barcelona and Spain, especially with his performances in the 2024 European Championship.

Yamal has already contributed with one goal and four assists in four matches this season, as Barcelona started the campaign with three straight wins.
After the comparisons with club legend Lionel Messi, Flick has warned the youngster about working hard.
"I think Lamine is at a high level but, at his age, he can and still has to improve," Flick said, as per Goal.
"It's great to see him training day after day. But he has to move forward, improve, work hard. Champions don't rest. And I think that's good advice.
"If he wants to be a great champion, he can't rest too much, he has to keep going and going."
Barcelona will back in action on Sunday afternoon against local rivals Girona.
