Barcelona and Spain star forward, Lamine Yamal has firmly stated that he can never compare himself to Lionel Messi. Yamal was a key contributor in Barcelona’s recent UEFA Champions League matchday 4 contest, where they held Club Brugge to a 3-3 draw. The youngster scored a brilliant goal to make the score 2-2 and then forced an own goal. Following the match, Yamal was asked about his fantastic strike, which prompted him to once again play down comparisons to the legendary Messi.Messi has scored thousands of goals like this, so I cant compare myself to him. Im just trying to improve and go my own way, and I hope to score more goals like this in the future, Yamal said, according to Barca Blaugranes. Regarding Barcelonas performance, Yamal stressed the need for improvement. We are Bara and we always have to win. But were already thinking about the next league match. Its a very difficult pitch. Its hard to win when you concede three goals. Thats what we need to improve. He reflected on his own goal-scoring play: I tried my best. It was a very quick play, and Fermn backheeled it to me. Well, Im sad we couldnt get the win. Lets hope for next time. Yamal also addressed recent speculation about his physical and mental state. Theres been a lot of talk about my pubalgia and that I was sad. It was all lies. Im trying to get back to work and play at this level, which is how I feel best and enjoy myself the most. Finally, he touched on the reception he sometimes receives from opposing fans. I dont think its a coincidence if they boo you. If they boo me, its because they know I do my job well on the field. I dont worry about it. The post Why I can’t compare myself to Messi Lamine Yamal appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
