FC Barcelona: Pep Guardiola compares Lamine Yamal to Messi

Recently, Pep Guardiola, former coach of FC Barcelona, was asked to compare the prodigy Lamine Yamal to Lionel Messi.

In a recent interview, Pep Guardiola was questioned about his future and his current situation at Manchester City. The Spanish tactician was also asked about Lamine Yamal. "I think Lamine Yamal should be allowed to continue his career. And when he has played for fifteen years, we can decide whether he's better or not. Let him continue his journey," Guardiola told GQ Hype.

For the Manchester City coach, it is premature and, above all, unwise to compare the young Spaniard to Messi. "The fact that they compare him to Messi is a big deal. It's like comparing a painter to Van Gogh, and they will say: 'wow, he's not bad, which means he's good.'" he added.
