Uh, De la Fuente said yesterday that Lamine can

end up being like Messi, Maradona, uh, Cristiano…

Wow. Do you see it the same way?

I see him as an amazing player, a… a potential

uh, Ballon d’Or winner, but… but you’re talking to me

about three players who… who for me

are the top three in… in the world, right?

Maradona, uh, Cristiano and Messi, right?

In that sense… Maradona for everything that…

for everything he did in… in moments when

maybe he did not have a great national team, like

when he won the… the World Cup in… in Mexico and…

and… Messi and Cristiano for what I told you

before, right?

Because… I mean, I do not… it is not just scoring 50

goals in one season, it is scoring those 50 goals

for 10 years, right?

I think that… that is going to be very hard

for anyone to achieve, uh… I mean, I …

I see Kylian as closer to being able to do it than

to… than… than Lamine Yamal. Uh, do you think

that Mbappé can reach the historical importance

of Cristiano Ronaldo or even surpass him?

Well, Cristiano Ronaldo… uh, I think that

no one is going to surpass him. I mean, I think he is

a player who… who has defined an era,

not just at Real Madrid, in football, right?

I think that because of… because of his consistency in doing

things well, you know?

I think that is the most important thing, right?

For… any player who wants to uh… dethrone

Cristiano or Messi, who I put at the same

level, uh… has to do that, you know?

I mean, it is not enough to play uh… ten good matches

and… and when uh… it is the important match

not show up, right?

I think those two always showed up, you know?

And I think that… that this is what… what it…

or the challenge, right?

that Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal can have,

or any player who… who wants to come close

to… to those two, right?
