Xavi Hernandez has waded into the Lionel Messi vs Lamine Yamal debate and says the Barcelona teenager can be compared to the GOAT.
Xavi says that Yamal can go on to become the best in the world but it’s up to him to put in the work.
“Yamal can be compared to Messi. He is one of the chosen ones; everything depends on him, his mentality, and his desire to make history. He can be the best in the world. He is already among them,” he told Romario in a chat with the Brazilian legend.
“They can win the World Cup. It would be fantastic to have two stars on the shirt. They deserve it. We are a very football-mad country. Football is a way of life. Luis de la Fuente is a great coach,” he added.
