Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has picked Bayern Munich star Michael Olise over Lionel Messi when it comes to the standout stats at the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup. Though Wenger acknowledged Messi’s huge impact on Inter Miami, he made it clear that, in terms of numbers, Olise has been the tournament’s top performer so far.

Speaking ahead of Inter Miami’s Club World Cup Round of 16 clash against PSG, Wenger told journalist Jose Armando that while Messi may not have the best stats, his influence in Major League Soccer cannot be denied. “Messi doesn’t have the best numbers in this tournament, but his presence is why Inter Miami even made it here,” Wenger said. “Without him, they wouldn’t qualify. The difference he brings is clear.”

He praised Michael Olise for his impressive display, pointing out that Bayern Munich would still progress even without him, but Inter Miami’s story is different with Messi. Olise has scored three goals and made two assists in just three matches, while Messi has managed one goal from three appearances.

Barcelona’s newest signing, Marcus Rashford, has shared his admiration for teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, calling his performances beyond extraordinary for someone so young.

Speaking during a chat with Spanish YouTuber xBuyer in Marbella, Rashford couldn’t hide his amazement at what the 17-year-old is doing on the pitch. He said it’s hard to describe just how impressive Yamal’s talent is, noting that at his age, players aren’t usually pulling off the kind of moves Yamal makes look easy.

Rashford, who joined Barcelona on a one-season loan, reflected on his own early days in football, recalling that he didn’t break into the professional scene until he was 18. For him, watching Yamal already holding his own at the highest level is something rare and special.

Now preparing to join the squad for the new season, the England forward is excited to play alongside Yamal, saying it’s every footballer’s dream to share the field with a talent like him. He didn’t hold back in his praise, describing Yamal as “the best.”
