Not since Messi have Barca fans been able to enjoy watching such a mercurial yet effective player as Yamal represent their beloved club. And the teen’s statistics at this tender age already project a greater career even than that of Messi - for many, the greatest player in the history of the sport.

Lamine Yamal continues to break records at FC Barcelona. He reached 100 games at just 17 years old. His rapid rise draws comparisons to Lionel Messi. Many fans now look back and try to compare how old Messi was when he reached the same milestone.

The first leg of the Champions League semifinal between FC Barcelona and Inter Milan ended 3-3, and one of the best players on the pitch was Barca's star Lamine Yamal. The 17-year-old winger continues to wow the football fans as he scored a stunning goal outside the box in the first half.
