The Similarity Between Yamal and Messi: Is the New “Legend” Looking for His Own Path?

Lamine Yamal, who attracted the attention of millions of football fans by playing for Barcelona, openly expressed his thoughts before the new season about the growing interest in his name and comparisons to Lionel Messi, reports goal.com. According to the young wunderkind, he has always sought to find his own path and write his own story.

In his interview, Yamal said: “Of course, Messi is the greatest footballer in history. He, like me, is left-footed and played on the right wing. We have similarities — this is a fact. But my goal is to only go down my own path. Messi chose his way and wrote a legendary history. I also dream of such a successful career. But the most important thing is that I want to play football in my own style, write my own story, and I want people to remember my name as Lamine Yamal.”

Yamal’s sincere words sparked widespread discussion among the team’s fans and experts. On the one hand, despite his young age, his place in the team is becoming increasingly secure; on the other hand, the speculation about Yamal receiving the iconic number 10 at Barça in the new season has heightened expectations in the football world.

In Barcelona’s history, the number 10 has always gone to the most talented and responsible footballers. After stars like Messi, Ronaldinho, Maradona, Yamal’s possible acquisition of this number raises new questions about his future role and the path he will follow.

The young footballer’s words — “I want people to remember me as Lamine Yamal” — clearly reflect his ambition and desire for his own style and individual development. Club representatives also trust Yamal’s abilities, and he is expected to open a new chapter in Barça’s history.

There are many young talents in the football world, but to become a true legend, you need to walk your own path and write your personal story. Yamal is making strides precisely in this direction. His performance in the new season, actions on the field, and the discussions around the number 10 will soon show what his football history will be like.

Time will tell: will Lamine Yamal be a star following in Messi’s footsteps, or will he become a new “legend” who finds his own way? Fans and experts continue to follow this process with great interest. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
