Van Bommel Says Yamal Is Better Than 17-Year-Old Messi
Ex-Bayern Munich star Mark van Bommel has boldly claimed that Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal is ahead of Lionel Messi at the same age. Speaking with Voetbalzone, Van Bommel said Yamal is doing far more at 17 than Messi did when he first broke into Barcelona’s senior team.
“In Messi’s early days with the first team, he didn’t play as many matches as Yamal is playing now,” the Dutchman explained. “For that reason, at 17, Yamal is better.” However, Van Bommel made it clear there’s still a long way to go for the young Spaniard if he wants to be anywhere near Messi’s legendary status.
“Messi has stayed at the top for twenty years, which is unbelievable,” he said. “If Yamal hopes to match Messi’s goal record, he’ll need to bag around 500 more. That’s nearly 30 goals every season.” Van Bommel, who also played for AC Milan, praised Yamal’s potential but admitted he isn’t the best in the world yet. “He’s not the best right now, but he’s definitely on the right path.”

It can be noted that Arsenal will face Sporting CP in the quarter-finals, while FC Barcelona will take on Atlético Madrid.
“I would not say so just because of the way they defend.
“I think a more compact team like Arsenal, and with the offensive talent that they have, I think will cause Barca a lot of problems because I still think there are frailties in their defensive line.”
