Claude Makelele has revealed that Lamine Yamal reminds him of Barcelona legend Lionel Messi. He claimed that the youngster was a genius and added that he was unbelievable for his age.

Speaking to BetMGM, Makelele stated that the 17-year-olds were unable to play at the top level during his time on the pitch. He added that the Barcelona youngster has shown glimpses of Messi on the pitch and said via GOAL:

Lamine Yamal has been the key figure for Barcelona in the last two seasons. He was also a key part of Spain’s squad that won the UEFA EURO 2024.

Florent Malouda spoke to Racing Tipster earlier this week and claimed that there was too much pressure on Lamine Yamal.

He believes that the youngster should not think about the comparisons with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and said via GOAL:

Lamine Yamal has repeatedly stated that he has not thought about the comparisons with Lionel Messi. He has insisted that the focus is on getting the team over the line in LaLiga, not on individual awards.

Sripad

Sripad is a veteran Sportskeeda football journalist, who has been with the company for around 9.5 years. His tryst with writing happened in class XI when he started penning blogs, and his foray into football was during the early 2000s, watching matches with his cousins.

Sripad has been a Chelsea fan through and through since the age of 9 and can watch their 2012 Champions League triumph on repeat. The undisputed ‘GOAT’ according to him is Lionel Messi and his favorite managers are Jose Mourinho and Sir Alex Ferguson. Apart from popular European leagues, he also likes to follow other leagues like the MLS, Saudi Pro League, Eredivisie, and Liga MX.

Sripad believes in only using the right sources for his articles, and is an expert in understanding how to get the right quotes for each news to provide proper background information. His exploits have led him to become a popular figure in European Football and interviewing Premier League legends such as Alan Shearer, Shay Given, Paul Dickov, and John Barnes. His articles have been much revered amongst the football fraternity and have been shared by the likes of John Terry, Gary Lineker, and Declan Rice.

If given a chance to change a football rule, Sripad wants VAR to be fully automated and offside rules to be less stringent. When not working, he likes to watch past Formula 1 races and play FIFA.
