As reported by İdman.biz with reference to “Championship”, 16-year-old winger of the Spanish national team Lamin Yamal spoke about comparisons with the Argentine ex-Barcelona striker Lionel Messi, who now plays for Inter Miami, and also explained why he had not published an archived joint photo with Messi earlier. Recall that in the photo, the young Argentine forward Lionel Messi is holding the newborn Yamal in a diaper.
“Comparisons to Messi? No one minds being compared to the greatest player in history. But it’s distracting because you’ll never be like him.
At the time when the photo with Messi appeared, I, of course, did not know about it. My father kept it. We did not publish these photos because we did not want comparisons between me and Leo,” Jijantes FC quotes Yamal as saying on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
Let us recall that earlier Lamin Yamal became the youngest author of a goal in the history of the European and World Championships. At Euro 2024, Yamal took part in six matches, in which he recorded one goal and three assists.
The Spanish national team will face the English national team in the final of the 2024 European Championship. The match will take place in Berlin at the Olympiastadion, kick-off is at 23:00.
