Yamal reveals the qualities he'd take from Mbappé, Dembélé and Olise

Barcelona and Spain winger Lamine Yamal has opened up on which attributes he would most like to borrow from France’s attacking trio. The 18-year-old, who faced Les Bleus in the World Cup semifinal, picked out specific traits from each opponent. “I really like all three. I’ve played with Dembélé, and I would take his ability to use both feet equally well. From Mbappé, I’d take his speed and goal-scoring instinct – I think those are very important. “And from Olise, I would take his creativity. In my opinion, Michael’s style is the closest to my own,” Yamal told Madrid Xtra. Yamal did not score in the 2026 World Cup semifinal against France, but he did win a penalty that Mikel Oyarzabal later converted.
