Nobody at El Chiringuito was expecting it. After Barça's recent victory in the Champions League, Jota Jordi was euphoric, to the point that he let out a statement that surprised his teammates.
Speaking about Lamine Yamal and everything he's achieved despite being 17 years old, Jota Jordi took the opportunity to put him above Messi. The pundit at El Chiringuito made this very clear. He pointed out that, at his age, the young Spaniard has surpassed the records of the legend.
"Should I do the numbers for you at the same age? Lamine Yamal has already done the same thing as Messi. The only difference is that at the same age, Messi had played one game for Barça," began Jota Jordi.
Far from stopping there, he added: "0 goals and 0 assists. Lamine Yamal has 67 games, 13 goals, 25 assists, won the Euro Cup and is the leader and star of this team."
Concluding his presentation, leaving his colleagues on the program surprised, Jota Jordi concluded: "I think Lamine Yamal is going to be better than Messi. The numbers prove me right. By the time he turn 35..."
"Lamine Yamal is the Only One who..."
These words from Jota Jordi haven't gone unnoticed. Actually, he had to continue his explanation on his 'X' account hours later.
"For those offended about Messi, Messi is THE BEST IN HISTORY," said Jota Jordi. He continued: "Those who saw Pelé said that there was no one like him. Those who saw Cruyff, the same. Those who saw Maradona, more of the same..."
"Until Messi appeared," Jota Jordi added. In this regard, he added: "And I say that Lamine is the only one who can do the same. By the way, putting Barça ahead of Messi is not speaking badly of Messi. It's being a culé."
Speaking about this matter, Jota Jordi concluded: "And Barça has existed since 1899, I don't think Messi had been born then, right? Those who suppoert Miami now are not Barça fans. They are Messi fans."
