Lamine Yamal continues to break records at FC Barcelona. He reached 100 games at just 17 years old. His rapid rise draws comparisons to Lionel Messi. Many fans now look back and try to compare how old Messi was when he reached the same milestone.

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.

At just 17 years old, Lamine Yamal appears to be the natural successor to Lionel Messi as the face of FC Barcelona for the next decade—at least.
