Lewandowski believes Yamar did not perform at his best in the World Cup.

19-year-old Barcelona striker Yamar ultimately helped Spain lift the World Cup trophy in 2026. However, Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, who played with Yamar at Barcelona, said that Yamar did not perform at his best on the field.

During the World Cup finals, Yamar contributed a goal for Spain. In the final against Argentina, Yamar started the match. With Nico Williams assisting Ferran Torres' goal, De la Fuente's team ultimately defeated Argentina 1-0 to win the championship.

When discussing Yamar's performance at the World Cup, Polish star Robert Lewandowski said, "To be honest, we didn't see the best Yamar. In my opinion, his best form wasn't last season, but two seasons ago."

“He is still very young. He had just recovered from injury before the World Cup and had not played for about eight weeks. This situation is really difficult because there is simply not enough time for systematic training. He can only play one game after another. But even so, he still showed a very high level.”

Lewandowski also said, "Yamal's teammates on the Spanish national team have given him a lot of help, and he has also helped the whole team. I think this kind of cooperation is perfect."

In addition, Yamal previously shared his interaction with Argentine star Lionel Messi on the field. Yamal said, "Messi told me to keep going on my path and that the future belongs to our generation of players. To me, those words are as precious as the World Cup gold medal around my neck."

"Messi has always been my idol, and I paid my respects to him after the match."
