Lamine Yamal continues to reiterate that he is not trying to be like Lionel Messi.
According to Lent.az, citing foreign press, the numbers say otherwise: After 120 games at Barcelona, the 18-year-old winger already has 32 goals and 43 assists - 75 productive actions in total.
Messi scored 76 goals at the same time - 50 goals and 26 assists - but he did it at the age of 21 and was gradually introduced into the starting lineup. On the other hand, Yamal plays under great pressure and appears in almost every game, which raises questions about his long-term durability.
Despite all the comparisons, Lamin remains true to himself: he is not Messi - he is building his own path.
