Lamine Yamal and Ronaldinho

Barcelona and Brazil legend Ronaldinho hopes Lamine Yamal can go on to have a stellar career like Lionel Messi and he had.

"Messi and I have already made history, now it's Lamine Yamal's turn. What he's shown so far, at such a young age and with so much talent, is extraordinary.

I like watching players like him; they're good for football. Yamal brings joy to the people. I hope he can have a career like ours," said Ronaldinho to Spanish news outlet Marca.

Yamal, 17, has been in lethal form this season. The forward has notched up 18 goals and 22 assists for hansi Flick's team, helping them complete a domestic treble.
