Thierry Henry Says Lamine Yamal Could Be Better Than Messi and Ronaldo in the Future
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has hinted that Barcelona’s young star, Lamine Yamal, could one day surpass the greatness of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 17-year-old winger wowed fans and pundits alike with a dazzling performance in Barcelona’s thrilling 3-3 draw with Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-final first leg at Camp Nou. Yamal, who has already featured in 100 games for the club, boasts an impressive record of 22 goals and 33 assists—an outstanding stat for a teenager.
Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher, speaking after the match, compared watching Yamal to seeing Messi at his peak. But Henry went even further, saying football always finds a way to surprise us. “You think no one can be better than Messi or Ronaldo,” he said. “Back in my day it was Pele or Maradona. Then someone like Yamal shows up.”

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
