FC Barcelona: Luis Suarez compares Lamine Yamal to Lionel Messi

Lamine Yamal is seen as the heir to Lionel Messi at FC Barcelona. Luis Suarez recognizes this from afar.

Speaking to Mundo Deportivo this Friday, Luis Suarez was asked to compare Lionel Messi to the young football sensation, Lamine Yamal. "Comparisons are impossible. They are different players. Sure, they are both left-footed and have the same talent, but they are totally different players. The results speak for themselves, just as what Leo keeps achieving despite his age. Hopefully, Lamine will at least reach that level," said the former FC Barcelona striker.

For Yamal, he'll have to maintain the highest level for a very long time to rival Messi's incredible career.
