Legend Fabio Capello made a surprising comment about Lamine Yamal, who is rumored to lead PSG’s attack after Mbape leaves.

Star Kylian Mbappe is about to leave PSG on a free basis, leaving a big void in the French capital team’s attack. Real Madrid is said to be Mbappe’s next potential destination, and this will be an immeasurable loss for PSG.

To fill the void left by Mbappe, PSG is said to be targeting a potential young name Lamine Yamal. This 16-year-old player made a strong impression in the recent C1 quarter-final match between Barcelona and PSG with tricky dribbles, making many people think of the legendary Lionel Messi.

However, veteran coach Fabio Capello was cautious when comparing Yamal with Messi. He shared: “I discovered Messi at Gamper and immediately recognized his natural talent. As for Lamine, although he possesses many qualities and development potential, he cannot compare. with Messi, Pele or Maradona – true football legends”.

According to Capello, Yamal still needs to practice and develop more to reach Messi’s level. Even Cristiano Ronaldo, the player who owns 5 Golden Balls and more than 880 goals in his career, is considered by many to be a football genius. However, former Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello has a different opinion. He said that between Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, he would choose Messi.

“For me, if you talk about Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, I say Messi,” Capello shared. “Cristiano Ronaldo is a great player. He has won many titles, but in my opinion, what he has achieved cannot be compared with Messi. Ronaldo is a great goalscorer, shoots the ball well, but he’s not a genius.”

However, Yamal is still very young and possesses limitless development potential. If he continues to work hard and learn, Yamal can absolutely reach the highest level and become a football star in the future.
