Spain coach compares Barca star Lamine Yamal to Maradona and Messi

The coach selected Barcelona's teenage winger Lamine Yamal again. The 16-year-old became Spain's youngest ever player and goalscorer in September as they thrashed Georgia. Some have questioned whether a player so young should be part of the international set-up.
"We always look to make the process as reasonable as possible, but there are players who knock on the door sooner than others," said De la Fuente.
"He has fantastic potential, exceptional qualities. Remember when [Diego] Maradona or [Lionel] Messi were 16, if we said they shouldn't have played, now it would seem like sacrilege.
"Players who have that special touch, so different, you can't set limits for them, you have to let them develop all their potential and show their class."
