Can a high starting point lead to becoming a phenomenal player? At 18, Yamal's market value is 200 million euros, far exceeding that of his peers.

Messi and Ronaldo are the phenomenal players of the past 20 years in football, while Neymar, despite his talent, lacks a Ballon d'Or, making it clear that he doesn't even qualify as a phenomenal player. The 18-year-old rising star Yamal at Barcelona has already taken over the team's number 10 jersey, marking his official succession of Messi. Additionally, Yamal's market value has reached 200 million euros, placing him at the top of the football valuation chart.

Comparison of the market values of super players at 18 years old in football:

• Yamal at 18 years old/Barcelona, market value of 180 million euros.
• Wirtz at 18 years old/Bayer Leverkusen, market value of 45 million euros.
• Musiala at 18 years old/Bayern Munich, market value of 38 million euros.
• Mbappé at 18 years old/Monaco, market value of 35 million euros.
• Vinícius at 18 years old/Real Madrid, market value of 35 million euros.
• Haaland at 18 years old/Molde, market value of 2 million euros.

So the question arises: can Yamal, with a market value of 200 million euros at 18, become a phenomenal player and win multiple Ballon d'Or awards?

Yamal has a good chance of becoming a phenomenal player and winning multiple Ballon d'Or awards, but he first needs to stay healthy, which is even more important than hard work. It's understandable for young people to enjoy life, but he must maintain necessary self-discipline. Yamal needs to be cautious about this, as his father is even more of a party-goer, and he requires guidance from a top coach and a good mentor.
