It's like, like I say right now, even though you've got a pretty good idea of what he's going to do when he gets on the ball in that kind of position, he can't be stopped.
Yeah, it feels like everything Lamine does is done at such a kind of accelerated pace, doesn't it?
It comes so fast.
He's already been through the sort of the prodigy breaking through stage.
He's almost already had that wobble that Craig was referring to.
Remember earlier in the season, it felt a bit like there was a lot of attention on his private life,
A lot of headlines about what was going on off the pitch.
He's had this groin problem that he's had to deal with and manage, and Barca had to leave him out for some games.
And he's come out the other side already.
And like you say, we're looking at a player now who potentially is going into a World Cup this summer with one of the teams who are the favourites to win it.
And like I say, everything that is sort of coming in his career is just coming so, so fast.
He's going to have assembled the kind of career when he's still a teenager that other players have taken until they're 30 years old to put together.
And I think as Craig says, thus far, he seems to be dealing with it
I think as well as you could ask, and he's doing it as we saw again last night with a smile on his face, enjoying his football, happy, despite, like I said, there's one or two challenges he faced earlier on in the season.
And yeah, he's already achieved things that a lot of players won't ever do in their career.
And like you say, he's on the brink, potentially a long way to go.
Let's see what happens this summer of absolute, truly historic stuff with the national team as well.
Yeah, this comes at a bad time because it feels like he just basically won the right to be Barca's first choice centre-forward.
And for a lot of people, it would be Spain's first choice centre-forward as well going into the World Cup.
And this kind of crisis of confidence, it feels like that debate has opened up again.
