Lamine Yamal’s record after 100 games compared to Lionel Messi & Cristiano Ronaldo

Lamine Yamal was called “differential manufacturer”, an “animal of a talent” and called a player to “define an era”. And that’s only from Xavi.

Barcelona’s record -injuring teenagers cannot drink, coordinate or rent a car, but he is somehow old enough to have performed 100 senior citizens’ appearances for club and the Spanish national team.

Anyone who is connected to the wing player dressed with braces has tried not to compare it to Lionel Messi, but the Argentine icon and his longtime Rival Cristiano Ronaldo are the last two players who have left their mark through an era of football .

When Yamal had celebrated his debut for Barcelona’s senior team as a 15 -year -old -and removed a whisker to mark this embryonic excursion with a goal -he hadn’t even played for the famous B team, as it was Brain current speed of its faster increase.

Robert Lewandowski remembered a clear thought that rattled around his head when he saw this children’s pull with Barcelona’s senior page for the first time: “Wow”.

After Yamal dealt with the Xavi’s title win team last season, Yamal was involved in almost every game and has established himself as the most talented – if not the most important – member of Hansi Flick’s current team. Barcelona has only collected one point in the five league games that Yamal did not start this season.

On an international phase, Yamal’s influence was just as seismic. The arrival of a direct dribbler – together with his good friend Nico Williams – shifted Spain from an aesthetically appealing, albeit somewhat anemic possession of the property to the European champions. Spain boss Luis de la Fuente was not alone when he greeted him as “touched by this magical wand of God”.

Messi had not yet broken into Supernova shape until his 100th career appearance in October 2007. At the previous Ballon D’Or ceremony, the wing player had only collected two voices with a fleet foot – less than Lukas Podolski for the perspective. However, there have already been some indications of its highest talent.

The 69th senior appearance of his career was immediately referred to as “The Lionel Messi Game” when he rattled in a hat trick against Real Madrid in March 2007. Five weeks later, the youngest figure, who had been kept as an 19-year-old “The Next Maradona” replicated the largest goal in his compatriot.

“It is Diego,” screamed the Argentine comment after watching Messi slalom through half of Getafe’s team in the Copa del Rey. “Tell me that it is not! For me it is Diego … He’s born again.” Press from Buenos Aires to Barcelona repeated the feeling Marca “Messidona” curl.

The Manchester United squad had not managed to throw Ronaldo’s tendency to stitches out of him when he made his 100th career appearance. The striking striker had only completed a full season for the Premier League giants and got briefly in and out of the spotlight.

The best game of Ronaldo’s early career was the FA Cup final in 2004. After a season that was planned of criticism, the Portuguese teenager blended in a 3-0 win against Millwall for United and won rivers from his manager and teammate of praise. Sir Alex Ferguson insisted: “He will be an excellent footballer”, while Gary Neville repeated this feeling: “I think Ronaldo can be one of the best footballers in the world.”

It is crucial that these enthusiastic criticisms rather refer to Ronaldo’s future potential than his existing success in this embryonic phase of his career.

As much as he tries to admit it, Ronaldo was a relatively late blooming child prodigy – especially with regard to the raw edition. In his opening of 100 games, the Portuguese striker recorded fewer goals and templates than Yamal, although he was two years older than the Spaniard when he scored a century with excursions.

Messi scored almost twice as many goals in his first 100 games for Club and Country as Yamal, but actually delivered fewer templates. Despite his impressive strike rates, this year, painted with disks, concentrated more on the dribble and completed an insolent average between seven and eight per game during this period. For the context, Yamal is one of the most productive weavers in the five best leagues in Europe, but only 4.2 per 90.

However, these comparisons ignore a blatant factor – Yamal is still a child. Messi had only done seven appearances when he was Yamal’s age, while Ronaldo’s senior career was only 32 minutes.
