Leo Messi has appeared on the YouTube channel ‘Simplemente Futbol’ to talk about his failed attempt to return to FC Barcelona after leaving PSG or his legacy with Argentina, although these were not the only topics discussed by the ’10’. In fact, the Argentine star also dared to assess the meteoric career of the latest great talent from La Masia, Lamine Yamal.
Lamine Yamal has incredible qualities and is already one of the best players in the world
Lionel Messi breaks protocol and debuts a new look in true soccer superhero style
Messi praises Lamine Yamal
At 37 years of age and the footballer with the most titles in the history of the game, Messi is well qualified to talk about a talent from La Masia, as he once was, who is now triumphing in the first team. A name, who along with other icons of world football, are the current idols of young children: “Children watch and imitate everything, they know everyone and follow everyone, because they talk about current players such as Mbappe, Vinicius, Haaland, Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal, being so young is very good. Seriously, it’s incredible,” he said of the Rocafonda player.
For his career and importance at FC Barcelona, Lamine is sometimes compared to Messi. A comparison of the current Blaugrana ’19’ with the legendary ’10’ that he himself wanted to join and lavish praise on: “Impressive what Lamine Yamal is showing, what he is doing and what he has already done. He has already been European champion with Spain,” he said about that title won in Germany last summer by Luis de la Fuente’s pupils.
Although Leo Messi would end up succumbing to the talent that Lamine Yamal shows at 17 years old. A talent that allows him to have enormous potential and a great future: “He is only 17 years old, he is in the process of growth and will continue to grow as a player and contribute things to his game, as I did. He has incredible qualities and is already one of the best players in the world,” he says.

Tuchel’s Southgate criticism looks naive as England go backwards
Thomas Tuchel was hired to help England take the final step. But the team have gone backwards under his management so far.After Gareth Southgate's side lost last summer's Euros final to Spain, the feeling was England just needed some tactical sharpness and a winner's edge to get over the line and end all those years of hurt. Tuchel, the FA said, could bring both. But 11 months on, in an international window which saw Spain, along with their Nations League final conquerors Portugal, once again "set the benchmark", as Tuchel put it, for what is going to be required to win the 2026 World Cup, England's prospects of claiming that ultimate crown have slipped significantly.Speaking ahead of the 3-1 defeat to Senegal, Tuchel insisted he was "convinced" England could hit the elite levels set by Spain and Portugal. But an […]

The Italian coach, who turned 66 on Tuesday, promised changes to make his team more aggressive as they looked to book a place at next summer's tournament in the United States, Mexico and Canada.He was welcomed by 46,000 fans in Sao Paulo, as Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli replaced midfielder Gerson to add more creativity, while Barcelona forward Raphinha returned after suspension and created problem after problem, paired with new Manchester United recruit Matheus Cunha […]
