Spain’s rising star, Lamine Yamal, has delivered a clear response to those who constantly compare him to Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi in terms of goalscoring.
The young Spanish talent stressed that he is not obsessed with individual statistics and has only one objective: to win.
“Score like Mbappé and Messi? I don’t care about goals. My mission is simply to win.”
Yamal explained that his style of play is different and that comparisons with the French superstar and the Argentine legend do not concern him.
“I’m not obsessed with scoring goals. First of all, they are at least 10 years older than me, and my style of play is different. My mission remains clear—I truly want to win the World Cup.”
His comments have been widely praised by fans, as they reflect the winning mentality of a footballer who, despite his young age, places the team’s success above personal achievements.
The 18-year-old added that individual accomplishments mean little if the team fails to achieve its ultimate goal.
“I just want to win. You can score 16 goals in a tournament and still be eliminated in the semifinals. I don’t want that.”
In closing, Yamal made his greatest dream crystal clear: to lift the FIFA World Cup trophy with Spain.
