Yamal Is Now Barcelona’s Benchmark – Guti

Barcelona youngster, Lamine Yamal is currently Barcelona’s benchmark, Real Madrid legend, Guti has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he did not see Lionel Messi do similar things at his age, and he is definitely a tremendous talent who can decide a game on his own.

Guti, however, added that Yamal is not always the best Barcelona player in every single match.

His words, “He’s light years ahead of what I did. The best? What does being the best mean? Being the best means being the best every single match, and he’s not the best every single match.

It happens to him like Kylian [Mbappe], like Vinicius [Junior]… He has a tremendous talent, and we often talk about how he doesn’t score, but the fact is that with the passes he makes, he decides the game. He’s a player who decides the game with one play.

I haven’t seen Messi do that at that age. He’s in the First Division and is a second-year youth player. He’s a kid who is currently Barcelona’s benchmark.”

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.
