GIRONA, SPAIN - SEPTEMBER 15: Lamine Yamal of Barcelona FC looks on during the LaLiga match between Girona FC and FC Barcelona at Montilivi Stadium on September 15, 2024 in Girona, Spain.
A former FC Barcelona star has urged people to stop comparing Lamine Yamal to club legend Lionel Messi. The Spanish winger has burst on to the scene in the last year and has already made a name for himself for both club and country.The 17-year-old was influential in helping Spain with the 2024 European Championship, where he was named the Young Player of the Tournament.
Despite great start to his career, former Barcelona and Argentina star Javier Saviola believes the Messi comparisons are not good for Yamal."Just by seeing him, you can tell that he is special. There are very few with that ability and way of seeing football. "We knew that we had an outstanding talent. He allowed himself to be advised, he listened a lot… It was an accumulation of a lot of things.“Comparing him to Messi is not good for Lamine; I hope he follows in his footsteps, but he will have to work a lot.”For 14 free days, you can have access to the best from Soccer Laduma, KickOff, Daily Sun, TrueLove and Drum.
