The Barcelona attack will feature Yamal, 17, on the right flank, the position played by Messi for the Spanish side with distinction for years.<\/p>\n
However Yamal, speaking at a media conference on Tuesday, rejected comparisons with his fellow graduate of the club’s La Masia academy.<\/p>\n
“I don’t compare myself to him, because I don’t compare myself to anyone – and much less with Messi,” Yamal told reporters, while also describing the Argentine as “the best player in history”.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think the comparison makes sense, with Messi even less – I’m going to enjoy myself, and be myself.”<\/p>\n
Yamal is already a European champion with Spain – while he will make his 100th Barcelona appearance should he feature against Inter on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
He picked up another trophy at the weekend, setting up two goals as Barca beat Real Madrid 3-2 in the Copa del Rey final<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said the euphoria from beating Madrid could help his side.<\/p>\n “There was big emotion at the end of the match,” said Flick. “This win against Real, it’s very important for the positive vibes, positive moments, it could push you on.”<\/p>\n Flick said Wojciech Szczesny would continue in goal against Inter, despite the return to fitness of first-choice Marc-Andre ter Stegen after a long injury lay-off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
