I Understand Those Comparing Yamal To Messi – Fabregas

Ex-Barcelona midfielder, Cesc Fabregas has come out to explain why Lamine Yamal comparisons with Lionel Messi are completely normal. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even if he does not like the comparisons because he believes every player is different and unique, Yamal clearly brings the excitement that Messi used to deliver at the Camp Nou.

Fabregas added that Lionel always stepped up for the team in difficult times, and the teenager is doing same now.

His words, “I can understand it. I don’t like it because I think every player is different and we all have our own story. And now Lamine needs to follow his road and create his own pathway. But definitely there are signs that always make you go back to what Leo used to be. I think it’s completely normal, especially also the Barcelona fans coming from a difficult period of years where there have been some difficulties.

So I think the excitement that Lamine brings to the table nowadays, it’s very important. It’s like Leo, you know, in difficult times he stepped up for the team. And I think with Lamine, the potential is there to do very, very well for many years at Barcelona.”

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.
