Luis Enrique Urges Lamine Yamal to Forge His Own Path Instead of Chasing Messi Comparisons

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique has played down comparisons between Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi ahead of PSG's Champions League meeting with Barcelona. Enrique, who coached Messi during Barcelona's 2015 Champions League-winning campaign, said Yamal should focus on becoming the best version of himself. He described Messi as the greatest player in history and said comparisons with him are unfair to other players. Yamal has also repeatedly rejected the comparison, saying he wants to build his own career. The two footballers have shared an unusual link since Yamal was a baby, when Messi appeared with him in a Barcelona charity-calendar photograph.
