17-year-old Yamal has outstanding data, surpassing Messi and Ronaldo of the same age, and his winning rate is far superior to Messi

Although there is still much to prove at 17-year-old Lamin Yamal, the dazzling performance of Lamin Yamal in Barcelona inevitably leads people to compare him to the greatest player of all time.

This comparison is inevitable, but the difference is still significant. When 17-year-old Lamin Yamal created a significant threat in the exciting Champions League match between Barcelona and Inter Milan, the claim that "he is the next Lionel Messi" quickly spread.

Before this 3-3 exciting showdown, Yamal stressed that he would not compare himself to "the best player in history" or any other player. "I don't think this comparison makes sense, and it's even less meaningful to compare with Messi," he said. "I want to enjoy the game and be myself." This last point is likely to be the key to his becoming one of the most exciting players in the world and becoming a popular Golden Globes. However, no matter how he emphasizes his own differences from others, comparisons with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will accompany his career.

Every goal, assist, or difficult performance in an important game will trigger a contrast, because this is the requirement of the social media era. Perhaps due to the influence of American sports, many young fans feel that there is no problem supporting superstars rather than teams.

And for those who want Yamal to be better than Messi and Ronaldo, the two most dominant stars in modern football history, there are already quite a few statistics to be used as a basis.

Yamar welcomed his 100th adult team match against Inter, which provides two different, but somewhat casual ways to compare. The first comparison that spreads rapidly online is to see what level Ronaldo and Messi are at when they were 17 years old.

Messi only participated in 9 first-team games at that time and scored 1 goal; while Ronaldo, who made his mark in Sporting Lisbon, has participated in 19 games, scoring 5 goals and contributing 4 assists. Meanwhile, Yamal has scored 22 goals and 33 assists in these 100 games. From this point of view, there is obviously a "winner". Salute to King Yamal.

Another comparison point is Messi's performance in 100 games, well, they are almost comparable in many ways, which is quite interesting.

Messi's goal count may exceed Yamal's 22 goals with 41 goals, but once the assist count is taken into account (15 assists vs. 33 assists), this means that the Argentine star's 56 goals were only 1 more than Yamal's.

Yamar's 77% winning rate exceeded Messi's 67%, but after each participating in so many games, they all won three titles.

The only conclusion that can be really drawn here is that Yamal is a very outstanding young player with the potential to be a great player. But he still has a lot to do before he can really discuss his historical status.

The career lengths achieved by Messi and Ronaldo are unprecedented, and there is a long list of talented young players who gradually disappear at their usual peaks for various reasons.
