Crvena Zvezda's 17-year-old midfielder has promised to prove he is better than Yamal

Today, Barcelona will face Crvena Zvezda Belgrade away in the 4th round of the UEFA Champions League, and one of the Serbian team’s players has made a bold statement.

Details: Crvena Zvezda’s 17-year-old talent, Andrija Maksimović, declared that today he would prove himself as a better player than his peer, Lamine Yamal.

"I will go out and show Lamine Yamal that I’m better than him. I also plan to exchange jerseys after, great player".

Maksimović is the fourth-youngest player in Crvena Zvezda’s history, having debuted for his hometown club at the age of 16 years, 6 months, and 1 day.

This season, the 17-year-old prodigy has scored 2 goals and provided 4 assists in 10 matches across all competitions.

Reminder: Late last month, Yamal received the Kopa Trophy, awarded to the best young player of the year.
