Former Soviet Union and Russia national team midfielder Alexander Mostovoy commented on the comparison of Barcelona midfielder Lamine Yamal to club legend Lionel Messi in an interview with "Euro-Futbol.Ru". Euro-football.ru reported this.
According to him, Yamal is a strong player, but he cannot reach Messi's level. Mostovoy emphasized that scoring 50 goals in a season like Messi is impossible.
Messi has achieved high results for many years during his career, including scoring nearly 100 goals and providing around 50 assists in 2012. Mostovoy called Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo true geniuses.
Currently, 38-year-old Messi is playing for Inter Miami in the United States. His contract with the club will end in the winter of 2025, and the issue of extending the contract is still unknown.
