Robert Lewandowski has identified longevity at the highest level as Lamine Yamal’s biggest career challenge, warning that establishing himself among football’s elite at such a young age does not guarantee sustained success.

The Barcelona striker, who is almost 20 years older than his teammate, reflected on the teenager’s extraordinary rise and the difficulties that could emerge as his career progresses.

Speaking about the generational differences in modern football during a chat with Big Cat, Lewandowski recalled meeting Yamal when the winger was just 15. The difference in their ages has become a source of humour between the Barcelona teammates, with Lewandowski joking about the possibility of playing alongside someone young enough to be his son.
