But Villa told Mundo Deportivo: "He is a unique and special player. At only 16 years old, he is leading Barcelona and the Spanish national team in the European Championship – it speaks for itself.

“We’re going to enjoy him, not put pressure on him because he’s very young, even though we see him play the way that he does.

"We need to help him exploit the potential he has in the coming years.”
