US EditionBarcelona FC President Joan Laporta Is ‘Open’ to Playing a Competitive La Liga Fixture in US
CATALONIA, SPAIN, JUL 31 – Barcelona president Joan Laporta calls for patience as Lamine Yamal develops, noting Yamal has worn the iconic #10 jersey for 15 months and praising his unique talent.
- Recently, Barcelona president Joan Laporta addressed comparisons between Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi during the club’s preseason tour in Japan under coach Hansi Flick.
- Barcelona’s decision a few weeks ago to assign Yamal the No. 10 jersey and a viral 2007 photo with Messi fueled comparisons, according to reports.
- Joan Laporta said `Messi has been the best player in the world, and Lamine, I believe that in the current situation, is the best in the world`, also describing him as highly talented at the highest level.
- To protect Yamal’s development, Laporta stressed giving him space to grow and said `not a lot of value` in hypotheticals comparing him to Messi.
- Sergio Aguero earlier this month warned against comparing Yamal to Lionel Messi, emphasizing caution in making premature judgments, while Ronaldo highlighted Yamal's strong performance.
