⚽ FIFA World Cup 2030: Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay ⚽

Yamal is in another level of his own because of his track records and age most especially actively playing now that Messi and CR7 are gradually retiring, this two guy's Mbappe and Yamal may break or even beat Messi and Ronaldo football record in the future, so the comparison may timely wrong, but objectively right because history is going to bring us back to that discussion in the future when both players attain such success level as they are going right now.

His age has a lot of influence, currently he has a lot of talent but i don't think that that alone is enough, for the level where he wants to reach he also needs a lot of discipline and a lot of work, he cannot base his career only on talent, unfortunately that is useful but not enough to make the game better and its impact more incisive.

Leo Messi is a genius in football because explain to me how he's able to pull up such stats despite his age? He's aged enough and still yet, he does the magic on the pitch. Leo Messi is that player we look up to when we're talking about longevity in football, not only football but performing at the very top phase in football. Messi deserves his accolades as the undisputed GOAT in football. Leo Messi was the one that carried Argentina on his back in the world cup, his goals and assists made them reach the final where they faced Spain.

The specialty of Messi's performance is that at one time when he had a lot of speed and stamina, he used it to score goals and it played a role in winning matches. But as time went by his speed decreased a bit, so he used dribbling and intelligence more to weaken the opponent. But  his performance has been consistent. The way he works as the toughest opponent player of an entire team alone, this cannot be understood without seeing his dominance in the last World Cup. The way he helped Argentina score goals with two important and successful assists in the match against England and took Argentina to the final, I have never seen a player who single handedly takes a team to the final. Messi may retire from club football while still in the best performance of his career. He is constantly scoring goals in club football. He has been maintaining this consistency for years, which is not seen in any other player.

Apart hard work, discipline is another essential quality that will make Yamal win the Ballon d'Or in the future. He seems to be influenced highly by youthful exuberance. He would have to reduce the level of his outdoor activities like partying. It has been reported widely that Neymar's performance was influenced negative by his lifestyle. Yamal has the potential to win the Ballon d'Or in few years,  but he needs to do his best.

I agree with you that Messi, considering his age, played brilliantly at the last World Cup in America and is the most deserving of Argentina playing in the final again.
However, this was possible because the entire Argentine team subordinated their game to Messi, so that he did not have to help in defense and was focused only on attack.
It is obvious that Messi is no longer physically powerful as before but he had much more support from his team than Ronaldo in the Portuguese team.
Unlike Messi, Ronaldo is going through big problems in the Portuguese team and is losing the support of the Portuguese fans.
However, without Messi, it will be a completely different Argentina team at the next World Cup and I think it will be very difficult to repeat the results they had in the last 4 World Cups, when they played in the final 3 times and were world champions once.

I believe that Messi can definitely feel satisfied, after everything he has done i no longer think there is the possibility of finding a better player than him in all aspects, perhaps the only one who can come close is Ronaldo, but i would put him among the best of all time with Pele and Maradona.

It is sensational to know that we all acknowledge the fact that this lad has a unique talent despite his age, at 19 he has already won many important trophies both for club and country which is impressive for a player within this age bracket.

Lamine Yamal is still young and I do not worry of his character been a hindrance to his career besides he is still a young man.

Is a problem of youthful exorbitant and with time he will have outgrown all the so-called character issue that people think he has.

What I think is that the player shouldn't promote himself like he did with the Ballon d'Or. What Lamine needs is to learn to be more humble and let others speak for him; there's nothing more to be done about it.

The fact that he's very young could be a negative factor for him. There's something Lamine needs to change to be a champion in these competitions. There were interviews where I didn't like what he said, and just like me, many others didn't like it either. All of that adds up.

These new generations are not humble at all and they actually are very tacky. This is what happens when you start paying ridiculous amount of money to very young people. We've all been teenagers, it's that part of life where you make a lot of stupid stuff because, well, we are stupid. Now take a stupid and give him millions of euros, what could possibly go wrong?

And in Yamal's case I don't even think the kid himself is the problem, his family is. I just read that the other day his father spit to a worker in the airport because she told him he couldn't leave the jacket in a certain area, and then he attacked another worker. Airport police had to interviene.

It's no coincidence that he was one of the best players in the world, I dare say. He changed his way of playing using his head more than anything else, so I would say that his is definitely a success story, of a champion who manages to change his way of playing and style to stay at the top.
Obviously the mentality is the one that won in this case: the champion's mentality.

Yes, we were all teenagers and had that mindset where we weren't afraid of anything and didn't care what others thought of us, but he's a global figure, much better than being an influencer, and everyone wants to copy something or other from him. I had heard from some friends that Lamine's father has a condition that prevents him from being a normal person in all his functions, and that's why he puts on those kinds of embarrassing shows. I don't know if it's true, but if it is, I think that's the reason he acts that way.

Of course I agree with you when you say Yamal is no regular teenager. At the end he earns more money in one year than what we'll ever earn in our whole life, so despite his age he carries responsibilities to. If you want to be a global star you have to get the full package, the good and the bad.

Regarding his father, that sounds like a made up story just to justify all the crazy stuff he does/says. If he was actually affected by some kind of condition they would have already stopped him years ago. Unfortunately he is totally fine, he is just a guy who won the lottery thanks to his son. And, personal opinion, I find it kind of sad living a big life thanks to your kid's money. I would be ashamed of doing such thing.

Yamal may be a little less responsible at the beginning of his career and because of his young age. But in reality, he is still performing quite well. However, he should now focus fully on how to improve his performance. If he can maintain this consistency of his performance, then there will be enough opportunities for him to achieve other personal achievements, including the Ballon d'Or, in the future.

And I am not sure about what you said about Neymar. However, it can be observed that Neymar was a little less focused on strengthening his performance at various times. And unfortunately, due to his repeated injuries, he has fallen further behind. Because if Neymar could have maintained the way he started his career, people would have talked about him next to Messi and Ronaldo. But he is ultimately lost now, he is not even discussed much anymore.

No matter how much a person ignores it, Messi has achieved so much that he cant be ignored. He will always be remembered in the discussions of the Best Players and that in my opinion is all he needs to be satisfied. As long as i watched and seen him he doesn’t care about the awards and other things he just enjoys the game and the other things come extra, he hasnt chased a specific milestone like ronaldo is chasing 1000 goals, messi is a selfless GOAT and that is the reason he is my favorite Player

If people make up a lot of things to badmouth others, what you say about the children is true. I think that if we have children, it's because we want to bring them into the world and we can give them everything without waiting until old age for them to try to solve our problems. What Lamine's father did is a bit sad. But I'm sure of one thing: if Lamine keeps up his current pace and has more successes with Barça, next year will be his year, because he only has serious competition left with Mbappé. Now the club has to help Lamine. Lamine has already contributed a lot to Spain. He'll be 20 years old, which is a good age to receive awards of that caliber.

You probably haven’t heard of Olise? They play in the same position, and last season, Olise performed better than Yamal - both in the Champions League and in the Club World Cup. Olise had very little PR until recently, but now people have taken notice of him and it will be very difficult for Yamal to compete even with such a PR-deprived player as Olise, not to mention Mbappe. And if Spain stops winning (they are currently the reigning European and World Champions), having lost this boost, Yamal will end up nowhere in the race for the Ballon d'Or.
