“It’s the present and the future”, Messi designates his successor!

At 37 years old and almost 38, Lionel Messi is in the twilight of his career. The Argentine legend has “finished the game” by winning all the biggest trophies possible since his debut.

Considered the best football player in history, the famous number 10 will surely not be equaled in the future. However, the Argentine world champion believes that there are strong talents within the new generation.

During an event organized by Adidas and filmed by
El ChiringuitoLionel Messi has revealed the name of one of his possible successors in the years to come. “ There is a young generation of players who are very good and who have many years ahead of them. But if I have to choose one, for the age and the future he has, I would choose Lamine (Yamal). It depends on him because football depends on a lot of things, but Lamine is the present and the future,” he would have declared.

Words that should please the current FC Barcelona winger who has continued to seduce his world since last season. The Spanish crack also distinguished himself in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund with an assist for Ferran Torres.
