Mbappe and Yamal aren’t as good as Owen at same age?

[Saba Sports News] Earlier, Barcelona star Lamine Yamal and Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe both made the 2025 Ballon d’Or 30-player shortlist. If 18-year-old Yamal wins the Ballon d’Or, he would break Ronaldo’s record of winning it at 21. Recently, Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard told ESPN that Owen was a better player at the same age, saying, “Yamal and Mbappe are chasing the Ballon d’Or, but Owen already has one, so I think you have to respect the fact that Owen was named the best player in the world. I used to play with Owen, and as a teenager, he was an outstanding player, so my answer (the best player at that age) is definitely Owen. But I must also say: Mbappe and Yamal, wow, they are also very talented players.” Notably, Owen won the Ballon d’Or at just 22 years old, thanks to his impressive performances at Liverpool and the England national team.
