Lamine Yamal is writing his own story at Barcelona, Deco has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the Barcelona wonderkid is definitely following in Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho and Johan Cruyff’s footsteps, and he has everything to be a benchmark for the club in the nearest future.
Deco added that there will always be comparisons with Messi because football is passion and idolatry.
His words, “There will always be comparisons because football is passion and idolatry and we cannot ask the opposite of people, but everything in its time. Lamine is writing his own story. Leo, Johan, [Andres] Iniesta or Ronaldinho had their moment.
He has everything to be a benchmark for this club and it is wonderful to have him at home, to be able to take care of him and appreciate him. He has not been lucky enough to grow up in a team that was winning like Messi, but he is being part of a renewal process.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.
The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.
In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
