According to reports, Ronald de Boer, a Barcelona legend, believes that Lamine Yamal, the current star of the team, has achieved more at the age of 17 than Lionel Messi did at the same age.

De Boer said in an interview with TalkSport: “A lot has been said before, but the main point is that he is a young player who has performed brilliantly at this age and has already played 100 games.

There was a time when Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, and all these players were playing, and we were almost afraid of missing Barcelona’s games. We were even afraid of going to the bathroom for fear of missing something beautiful happening on the pitch.

I received a message from Henk ten Cate, Barcelona’s assistant coach during Frank Rijkaard’s tenure, when Messi made his debut against Espanyol, saying that Yamal is better than Messi was at this age.

For me, the only difference is consistency. Messi has been at an amazing level for 13 years, can Yamal do the same? Can he maintain his enthusiasm? Can he stay fit? Can he keep it consistent?

He seems very humble and is not afraid of the ball. If he loses it, he has no fear of winning it back and trying again.
