Real Mallorca coach Javier Aguirre has likened Lamine Yamal to Leo Messi – but says the pair shouldn’t be compared.
Mallorca were undone by Yamal and Barcelona on Friday night.
Aguirre said: “The first time I saw Leo Messi play, he was 21 years ago and I needed 5 minutes to say: he’s a mouse. Lamine Yamal also plays like a mouse. He looks like that too. I know that this club works very well with young people. If it continues like this, he will bring Barcelona a lot of happiness.
“I understand but I think they should not be compared.
“Anyone will lose when compared to Messi. We’re talking about the best player in the history of this sport, he should not be compared.”
