"Barcelona” club talent Lamine Yamal did not hold back on compliments for this team and football legend Lionel Messi:

"L. Messi is the best player of all time... He is an example and an ideal.”

And if he is not the best athlete of all time, the Argentine is certainly one of them...”

"Everyone respects L. Messi for what he has achieved, and I hope that in my career I will be able to follow in this player’s footsteps.”

Lamine Yamal received the "Laureus” award for best young player two days ago.

38-year-old Lionel Messi played at "Barcelona” from 2004 to 2021 and scored 672 goals in 778 matches.
