“We must allow Lamine Yamal to follow his own path, and only after he has played for 15 years can we say whether he is better than Messi.”
This was said by Manchester City’s head coach Pep Guardiola while answering the question of whether Barcelona’s 18-year-old winger Lamine Yamal could someday surpass the former Blaugrana forward Lionel Messi, Idman.biz reports.
The expert added that being compared to Messi is very important for Yamal himself: “It’s like comparing him to the famous painter Van Gogh.”
Guardiola was the head coach of the Catalan club from 2008 to 2012. Under his leadership, Barcelona won several trophies, including the UEFA Champions League.
