Arsenal icon Thierry Henry has raised eyebrows by suggesting that Barcelona’s winger, Lamine Yamal, could eventually be better than football legends Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, following his dazzling performance for the Catalan giants against Inter Milan in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday.
Yamal left a lasting impression on both fans and pundits after Barcelona fought back to secure a 3-3 draw with Inter Milan at the Camp Nou.
At just 17 years old, Yamal has already played 100 matches for Barcelona, accumulating an impressive 22 goals and 33 assists.
Speaking on CBS Sports after the match, former Liverpool star Jamie Carragher compared Yamal’s play to the peak performances of Messi, saying it was akin to “watching Messi in his prime.”
However, Henry took the conversation a step further, remarking: “We often talk about players who are destined for greatness, but one thing that continually astounds me in football is how we always think there’s no way anyone could surpass Messi and [Cristiano] Ronaldo. Or, in my era, Pele or [Diego] Maradona… And then along comes Yamal.”
The young star will look to keep up his remarkable form when Barcelona travels to Italy for the return leg at the San Siro next week.
