What if he, the chosen one, is Lionel Messi's successor at Barcelona? At the same time, he has all the qualities. For just over a year, Lamin Yamal has been causing a veritable nightmare for all his opponents, so much so that Luis La Fuente called him up for the Euro Championship, making him an undisputed starter to win the competition. This season, the 17-year-old continues to impress defenders, which inevitably prompts comparisons with his illustrious predecessor, the Argentine Lionel Messi.
“At the end of the day, a lion is a lion.”
While many people confirm this to be true, others prefer to be more cautious. This is especially the case with Jordi Alba, the former Barcelona player who still plays for Bulga, but who also knew the youngster Yamal. “When I was at Barcelona, he was already training with the first team and even made his debut in a match against Betis.” Obviously he has grown a lot, he is a 17-year-old kid and what he is doing is crazy, we have to support him and the players at the bottom are doing very well.” In the qualifiers, before softening his comparison to Messi: “We have to be patient and not compare him to anyone because That's after all, Leo.” [Messi] He is Leo and there is no other player like him. He has responsibilities that are not easy at 17 years old and you have to give him a lot of value. I hope he continues to learn and enjoy football.” The message is clear.
