He’s only 18 years old, and he has to keep developing, learning, making mistakes, and from there he will continue to grow,” </strong>he said. </p><img height="0" src="https://media.zenfs.com/en/barca_universal_articles_732/16e32b715a1d7ecc426c776cd6593cca" width="2048" data-uuid="b4768d45-6a21-30ba-a9a6-5d724695b373"><p>Lamine Yamal is going through a difficult period. (Photo by Alex Caparros/Getty Images)</p><p>Iniesta went on to explain how Yamal is getting criticism for the smallest of things only because he is in the spotlight for his brilliance.</p><p>“<strong>Sometimes, when a person is constantly in the spotlight, people tend to criticise any action or small detail—so I think it’s beautiful and special to see Lamine every week doing what he does on the field,”</strong> he added. </p><p>Iniesta has been an avid admirer of Yamal ever since his rapid rise to prominence and has backed the player to perform multiple times in the past.</p><p>Last weekend, Iniesta even backed Yamal for his comments against Real Madrid ahead of <em>El Clasico</em>, classifying them as <a href="https://barcauniversal.com/barcelona-legend-opines-on-lamine-yamals-comments-aimed-at-real-madrid-add-a-little-spice-to-the-clasico/" target="_blank">“adding a little spice”</a>, more than anything else.</p><p>However, with key games approaching, Yamal does need to step up for Barcelona, who are struggling with mounting injuries. </p>)
