Luis Suarez: Messi and Lamine Yamal 'the same but different'

Speaking to Mundo Deportivo, Suarez explained why he believes comparisons do neither player any favours. "Comparisons are odious," Suarez stated. "They're different players. Yes, they have the same left foot, they have the same quality, but they're completely different players." "The results speak for themselves, and what Leo continues to achieve at his age.

Let's hope Lamine reaches at least that same level." Suarez also highlighted Yamal's growing influence for Spain, said: "In the first match against Cape Verde, Spain had a lot of possession, but wasn't very decisive in creating clear scoring opportunities, except for Ferran's chance in the first half.

But when Lamine came on, you could tell: all his teammates were looking for him, passing him the ball, and you knew something was going to happen - a cross, a run down the wing, a shot, anything. He drew more attention from the defenders." "He's a player who's been improving throughout the World Cup.
