Laporta says Yamal deserves his own legacy.

Joan Laporta says comparisons between Lamine Yamal, Lionel Messi and Johan Cruyff are inevitable, but each player has his own qualities and belongs to a different era. Messi left his mark on a generation, Laporta said, while Cruyff changed the history of soccer and Barcelona. Yamal, he said, deserves the chance to write his own story and build his own legacy. Laporta called him a genius and an extraordinary player, praising his creativity, dribbling and maturity at a young age. He also said Barcelona must protect Yamal, guide his development and provide the right sporting environment. Laporta added that he is proud the club’s La Masia academy produced a player with such potential.
