Sports: I admire Messi but don’t compare myself to him – Yamal

 Barcelona star Lamine Yamal said he is focussed on being himself and not on comparisons to Lionel Messi, ahead of the Champions League semi-final clash against Inter Milan on Wednesday.

The 17-year-old star has become a key figure on the right flank, where Barca’s all-time top goalscorer Messi operated for many years, with both players coming through their La Masia youth academy.
