Barca's sensational star reflects upon his comparison with all-time club Legend

As the new football season has kicked in, significant improvisations have been witnessed in various clubs, but currently, none has been better than Barca's comeback. Finishing the 2023/24 campaign trophyless: many questions were being asked from the club's management, due to which FC Barcelona had to take harsh steps, including sacking club legend Xavi.

However, with Hansi Flick coming ahead of the new season, things have certainly taken a better turn for FC Barcelona. Given the kind of performances the club has been giving, it is just spectacular, dominating their way to the league's leaderboard. However, the most impressive fact is that Flick has been doing it with a relatively young squad.

In particular, Lamine Yamal, who has been hitting at his top form recently, coming on the back of a brilliant Euro campaign, has been replicating the same in the new Flick era. Managing 5 goal contributions in the four fixtures so far, Yamal has been phenomenal, being a lead contributor to the club's goal tally.

In fact, just at 17 years old, Lamine Yamal is competing for some of the most coveted individual awards. Being one of the favorites for the Kopa Trophy and one of the top 30 finalists for the Ballon d'Or, the youngster has proven himself as the best youngster in European football. Speaking to the media, Yamal reflected upon this massive feat,

""Being among the 30 finalists for the Ballon d'Or and a top candidate for the Kopa Trophy at 17 is a dream. I'm the youngest in history to achieve this, and it motivates me even more.""

What has been surprising is that the youngster has been breaking records for fun, and Barcelona fans have started seeing in him the successor of all-time club legend Leo Messi. Upon being questioned about his comparison with Lionel Messi, Yamal replied,

""If you are compared to the best in history, it means you are doing something right.""

Currently, from former club legends to football analysts to even rival club players, everybody is in awe of the youngster's brilliance. One of the key factors that differentiates him from the lot is his hunger to keep contributing to his team. Instead of being overexcited about the recent nominations, Yamal expressed his desire to continue working toward his team's success.

In Yamal's words,

""I've had an amazing year with Barça, and these nominations are just the beginning. I want to keep working hard and contribute to my team's success.""

Clearly, the 17-year-old has been the most distinguished talent the infamous La Masia Academy has produced. Barca fans would hope that Lamine Yamal continues this way, devoid of any injuries, continuing to take FC Barcelona's legacy to greater heights.
