At just 17 years old, Lamine Yamal makes no secret of his admiration or his inspirations. Present in China for a promotional event, the young prodigy of FC Barcelona expressed his opinion in front of the local press on a subject that has been dividing football enthusiasts for years: the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) debate.
When asked about the player he considers the greatest of all time, the Spanish international didn’t hesitate for a second. “For me, Messi is the greatest player in history. Everything he achieved, in all areas of the field… I loved everything about his play. It was magnificent to watch,” he said in comments relayed by Barça Universal.
An avowed fan of Lionel Messi, Yamal has already received praise from the Argentine legend, whose footsteps he is following within the Catalan club. The precocity, playing style and impact of the young winger suggest an exceptional trajectory.
