Real Mallorca boss Javier Aguirre was full of praise for Lamine Yamal after seeing the Barcelona teenager score a lovely winner on Friday night.
Yamal’s goal proved to be the difference between the two teams, and left Aguirre comparing the teenager with Lionel Messi after the game.
“I saw Messi when he was with the Barça youth team. I saw him for five minutes and he was a rat, he didn’t stop scoring goals. This scoundrel also looks like a rat,” he said.
“He’s young, they work well with young people here and yes keep it up and he will bring many more joys to Can Barça.
