Comparing a 16-year-old to Pelé and Messi is ridiculous — unless it's Lamine Yamal
DORTMUND, Germany — Don't be ridiculous, of course it's too early to start talking of Lamine Yamal in the same sentence as the all-time greats. He's 16, for goodness' sake. Leave Pelé, and Lionel Messi, and all the others out of this. It is unfair on both his tender years and on their body of work. It is premature and reactionary and probably just downright wrong.
