Crvena Zvezda’s Andrija Maksimovic who goes by the nickname ‘Little Messi’ has fired out a warning to Lamine Yamal ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash between the two sides.
Maksimovic says he’s really looking forward to the big game and plans to outshine Barcelona’s wonderkid in the match.
“We met up at the European Championship. A brilliant player, as well as [Pau] Cubarsi. We’re the same age, tomorrow I’ll go out and show that I’m better than him [Yamal],” he told reporters.
“Of course, I’m not nervous, this is what I’ve been waiting for. This is the Champions League, this is our stadium. The stands will be full and I’m glad I’ll be playing against the great Barcelona.”
The 17-year-old also spoke about comparisons with Messi and the nickname he’s earned, saying: “Messi is my idol, but I would like to be remembered as Andrija Maksimovic.”
Yamal heads into the game in great form alongside Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski in the Barca attack and had six goals and eight assists so far this season for Barcelona.
