Manchester City club head coach Pep Guardiola stated that there is no need to put too much pressure on Lamine Yamal and compare him to Lionel Messi, and he responded to whether he would ever return to coach the Barcelona team:

We should allow L. Yamali to go his own way, and when he has been playing for fifteen years, we can say whether he will be better than Lionel Messi.

The very fact that he is compared to L. Messi is a great thing. It's like comparing a painter to Van Gogh.

Returning to Barca one day? No, it was fantastic... But that is all.

The 18-year-old Lamine Yamal has scored 25 goals in 106 matches for the Barcelona club.
