Lamine Yamal's brilliant start to his career with FC Barcelona has led him to be compared to Lionel Messi due to his conditions, talent and similarities. The Argentine liked a publication that indicates that the '10' of Barça is in good hands.
Although both footballers do not follow each other on social networks, both have praised each other. On the one hand, for the one born in Esplugas de Llobregat, Messi is the best footballer in history.
On the other hand, the Inter de Miami player has stated that Lamine Yamal is the present and future of the club.
"From Messi's 10... to Lamine's 10, the future of Barça is in good hands"
The Instagram account ‘dpg_producciones’ published a video on July 16 with the description "From Messi's 10... to Lamine's 10, the future of Barça is in good hands". This has gone viral due to Lionel Messi's 'like'.
The video shows several moments of the Rosario native playing with the blaugrana team and, in the middle, a blaugrana shirt with Lamine Yamal's '10' can be seen. With the following song.
"And if you close your eyes one day, remember how the stadium roared at you. Those chants that hurt us because we knew that one day it would end. But whatever happens in this life, I will carry your name to mine. I promised myself that I would never fall in love again. I never thought I would be wrong. If I could choose a thousand more lives, I would choose you again without thinking. I will upload your shirt to my altar and I will take it off showing your number. If I could ask for only one wish, it would be to dress Leo in blaugrana again. To sing in the Camp Nou with your trophies and celebrate the goals like in recess"
That the best player in the history of the club says that the '10' is in good hands is more than a good omen for a footballer who has shone from day one; it is a gesture that excites the Barcelona fans, who want to relive those good moments where FC Barcelona conquered world football.
Iñigo Pérez: “Yamal reminds me of Messi”
Iñigo Pérez, coach of Rayo Vallecano, was asked at a press conference if he had a specific plan to stop Lamine Yamal and if he was his favorite to win the Ballon d'Or. He replied that the young blaugrana star is one of those who has been nominated to win it.
In addition, the coach explained that the Mataró native is a differential player and that he reminds him of Messi because he generates a feeling of powerlessness in the teams that play against him.
“Since I've been a coach, I see that he reminds me of Messi in many ways. I'm not talking so much about the way of playing, which may have similarities, but about that feeling of seeing teams try different formulas and him finding solutions to be able to solve it.”
Tonight, Hansi Flick's team will visit Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio de Vallecas, led by the '10', who has one goal and one assist in 2 matches of LaLiga EA Sports 25/26.
