How Lamine Yamal compares to Lionel Messi and Neymar after reaching 100 Barcelona appearances on Wednesday evening.

It is becoming hard to remain calm about Lamine Yamal. Barcelona’s winger is still just 17, an age where similarly precocious talents have shone before flaming out. It is best to be cautious with expectation levels for any teenage prodigies.

Yamal made his 100th Barcelona appearance on Wednesday - at the same age, Messi had just seven. Jamie Carragher echoed Henry’s Messi comparison, and believes that Yamal is already among the best players in Europe, comparing him to other stars in prolific Man City striker Erling Haaland and Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe.
