Is Lamine Yamal the heir to Messi's throne?

[@barca-vibe]

As a barca fan i hope he just becomes half the player messi was If he does he will already be one of the greats in history

[@thatodebrainist1997]

I need him not to be half of anybody I want him to be the best

[@john-adriancoker2789]

Let Lamine Be Yamal!

[@Muhiz23]

@Vlad88822he’s still a very good player. Not his fault he has struggled with injuries and Barca decided to be impatient out of nowhere.

[@FreddieGamingHD]

@Vlad88822 that's not a argument. You're just repeating cliches at this point.

[@Heskeyali1]

​@@FreddieGamingHDAt what point does a valid argument become a cliché? I believe the point he is trying to make is that it is very dangerous for young players to be compared to Messi. There are multiple examples where young rising talents have been dubbed 'the next Messi' and gone on to fail to live up to the hype and potential. For Yamal, the danger is even greater. He is playing for the same club and in the same position as the greatest player of all time. I really, really like Lamine Yamal, so I really hope he is able to persist through the weight of expectation and keep playing his spectacular football.

[@John_Kennedy27]

​@Vlad88822and did they not say similar things about Messi and Ronaldo?

[@MacDonagh]

Lamine is a fantastic player but I have massive reservations for a player to be playing so many games so young. It is unfair on the player to have to shoulder the weight of not just Spain but Barcelona as well. We've seen Barcelona youth players like Fati, Gabri and Pedri suffer massive injury setbacks due to them being played until their legs fell off. We've seen this with Owen, Tierney, when he was being played every game that by the time he gets to Arsenal, he has to take a year off because of the physical condition he was in. You can say the same with Rooney but lifestyle may have played a factor in why he became less and less effective in his later years. I hope Yamal gets to be able to live up to his frightening potential and that he isn't ruined by reckless tackles and/or poor medical care.

[@JulionCodling]

Don't have reservations on him if he's Destin to be there's nothing can stop him, no injury no sickness nothing whatsoever if it's his destiny!!

[@jimbojimbo6873]

Alot of crazy statements made here Just because he’s 16 doesn’t mean he doesn’t understand how famous he is, or understand the pressure (which is completely internal and subjective) lets not be so quick to make judgements about the guys awareness of what he’s doing… drowning in dogma just because he’s young guys

[@JavierDespo]

Yeah, when I heard that, I thought what? Judging by his interviews, style of play and what teammates say, he seems really mature on the pitch, while still being a kid outside of the pitch

[@curtischarles5299]

Do you all realize yamal is playing for fc Barcelona first team and starting also? Why you all are saying he's unaware of the crowd and the pressure ? How much more pressure can you get when playing for barcelona ? Lol

I’ve not seen any barca fans worried about losing him

As a Moroccan im devastated that we didn't get him for our national team. Im still punching the wall right now.

It’s just the Athletic and their anti Barca narrative that gets a lot of clicks.

We said the same thing about Ansu Fati a few years ago and look what happened. Just let the kid do his own thing stop trying to make him the next something.

Injuries happened to him. Could’ve happened to anyone.

[@StrykezMan09]

Let's see how he's doing at 25/26 years old before giving our verdict.

[@velovis04]

We decided Messi was the goat when he was 23. 25-26 is too late for a prodigy

[@StrykezMan09]

[@Mistermouchman]

Bro don’t spread lies, dembele was never on the bench because lamine was playing. Dembele left to psg shortly after lamine had his debut. He got a lot of playing time when raphinha and ferran torres were injured . Get your facts straight please.

[@sslaia]

Let's hope he is healthy and could have an impact like Messi. But we shouldn't compare them now. Messi is exceptional because he has sustained his game for decades.

[@Daewonnni]

The idea of Barcelona selling Yamal is nonsense. If Barcelona theoretically had 200M to sign anyone in the transfer market it would be Yamal. We have him and he is staying.

[@nutsarachanphut4141]

Reminder who was the so called next Messi before ending up in Brighton…sometimes dont need to hype these things when they aren’t even near that yet

[@devanman7920]

Impossible bar to meet. Looking at records both Ronaldo and Messi met I can't see anyone being like them.....but he will have a great career.

[@lukevirtualgameruk3523]

IF he becomes a quarter of Messi he will become Homelanders level.

[@JudiCaraway]

I have one thing to say 🇪🇸Checkmate🇪🇸

[@Iron-Bridge]

Keep seeing this type of narrative being pushed by various media. The new Messi, the new Ronaldo, new Maradona, new Maldini etc. Each top class player is unique as it's difficult to replicate in current time the exact circumstances with the exact player qualities that led the previous players to greatness. Also, there's the risk of burnout and injuries with the increased workload in modern football. We've seen this previously with very talented players across the globe. Jsck Wilshere, Marco Veratti, Wayne Rooney, Mario Gotze from the past and now Pedri and Gavi. We hope the young talent like Yamal, Musiala, Bellingham, Mainoo, Wirtz , Xavi Simons, Williams etc can stay relatively healthy and have long careers. To stay on point, let's hope Yamal becomes Yamal the 1st.

[@Daewonnni]

Yamal is a cross between Henry and Neymar. Needs work on his right foot and be more clinical in front of goal. But what a phenomenal talent. If Spain win the euros the sting gets taken out of the Mbappe transfer.

[@k.s.r8094]

messi and yamal also a man of the match in the last game , argentina vs canada at semi copa and yamal at semi vs france. what a fate! 😂
