Young Spanish star Lamine Yamal considers Lionel Messi, one of the best players in world football, to be the best footballer in history. However, he has chosen Brazilian forward Neymar Jr. as his personal inspiration or ideal.

In a recent interview, the rising Barcelona star spoke about his football thoughts and favorite player. Yamal said that Messi is the best player in football history and he continues to prove it in every match.

In his words, "Messi is the best in history. If anyone doubts this, it is only for doubting. But my personal ideal is Neymar, and the best player is Messi."

Yamal has been fascinated by Neymar's style of play, dribbling skills and creativity since the beginning of his football career. The Spanish winger has expressed his love for the Brazilian star on various occasions before.

Meanwhile, Yamal is currently in the process of regaining fitness. Although he has only come on as a substitute in one match in the recent tournament, he wants to gradually return to full fitness.

Yamal said that he is working to be 100% fit and is ready to give as much time as the coach needs as per his plan. He also mentioned that he does not want to rush the process of adapting to the team.

Yamal, who has created a stir in world football at a young age, is seen as one of the biggest stars of the future. And while he considers Messi the best of all time, Neymar Jr. is his inspiration.
