Is ‘dangerous’ Lamine Yamal the best player in the world right now?
The Barcelona star has been compared to Lionel Messi.
Lamine Yamal is aiming to continue his incredible football trajectory in Barcelona’s Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan tonight.
The 17-year-old winger was compared to Lionel Messi and hailed as the best player in the world after the 3-3 first leg draw in Catalonia last week.
Yamal has already broken records in the sport but is he already better than the likes of Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah?

What makes Lamine Yamal so special?
Yamal has only played a total of 120 matches for club and country to date but his exceptional football intelligence has blown away pundits, fans, managers and players.
He is known for his remarkable dribbling skills, ability to create big chances and his quick and effective decision-making in key moments.
Yamal, who played a major role in Spain’s Euro 2024 triumph, has also built a reputation for precise passing, superb crossing and excellent shooting.
In his opening 100 games for Barcelona, Yamal conjured up 55 goal involvements, the exact same as Messi across his first 100 matches.
