Lautaro Martinez refuses to compare Lamine Yamal to Messi

Inter striker Lautaro Martinez said Barcelona teen Lamine Yamal is an important player, but is no Lionel Messi

Transcript

00:00First of all, I'm against that. Leo doesn't have a comparison because Leo is the best player of all time.

00:10So I'm not going to do that comparison.

00:14I can only say that Lamine is an important player.

00:18We've seen everything, we know everything.

00:20Ascorta is doing a great job.

00:24He has won important titles with his selection.

00:28So we have to respect it.

00:30But yes, he has a great future and he's a great player.

00:34Lamine è un talent, penso, unico in questo momento al mondo perché riesce a fare grandissime giocate ma è molto utile anche la squadra.

00:46Non fa giocate personali ma le mette al servizio di tutta la squadra e sicuramente domani sarà un osservato speciale.

00:55Chiaramente il Barcelona non ha solo Lamine, tutti quanti saranno osservati nel miglior modo possibile dai miei giocatori.
