Henry's co-anchor and former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher echoed his praise of Lamine Yamal via a bold comparison with Messi's early days at Barcelona. "It was like watching Messi in his heyday. When he got the ball, the whole game stopped, as people wait to see what he's going to do.

Lamine Yamal's ascent to superstardom has been as breathtaking as it's been swift. The 17-year-old remains too young to drive, get a tattoo or enjoy an alcohol

I admire Messi a lot, so I don’t want to compare myself with the best player in football's history,” Yamal added on Tuesday.
