Spain winger, Lamine Yamal, has identified Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo as the player that has “aura”.
Yamal was speaking ahead of their 2026 World Cup quarter-final clash against Belgium.
The Barcelona teenager snubbed other big names like Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane, picking Ronaldo as the footballer with a big personality.
“What is aura? In football, Cristiano Ronaldo,” Yamal said.
“Aura is a person who gives off, something like when they arrive, it’s like… WOW. For example, Brad Pitt or like that.
“In football, Cristiano would be a good example of aura.”
