Let me give you a brief description, and you come up with a name that fits it, eh? Young Barcelona right wing forward, straight out of La Masia, left-footed and cutting in to cause havoc, breaking through stubborn defences, winning games by his lonesome for the senior team...
Hah. The safe bet is that you're thinking of one man, one name. The lad who stepped out of La Masia and made his debut for Barca aged 17 years, three months, and 22 days old. The lad who immortalized that Barcelona #10 shirt. The lad who would go on to conquer Spain, Europe, and the world.
This one isn't about Lionel Andres Messi, though. Fast forward about two decades from that famous debut, and we have another teenage phenomenon who fits that brief description to the T, tearing it up and down Barcelona's right wing. He was even younger than Messi when making his senior debut for Barca aged 15 years, nine months, and six days old last season. Now, still just 16, he's already a first-team regular for Barca... and this season he's arguably been their most impactful, most consistent player. On Friday night, against Mallorca, he once again served up a display that did nothing to stop the comparisons with Messi.
The clock reads 72:23 when he gets the ball from Jules Kounde, stationed right next to him, just outside (and towards the left) of the Mallorca box. The score is 0-0: Mallorca have been stubborn, Ilkay Gundogan has his penalty saved by Predrag Rajkovic, who's been immense in the Mallorca goal. Rajkovic also stopped Yamal earlier in the match: tipping a sensational strike onto the bar and out to safety. In exactly 11 seconds, though, he is about to watch the ball fly past him as he stands haplessly rooted to the spot.
Yamal cuts in immediately after getting the ball off Kounde, laying it off to Robert Lewandowski. Lewa, outside the box, twists and turns but has nowhere to go and gives it back to Yamal. Which is when the magic starts.
Taking a touch, Yamal drags his marker Daniel Rodriguez into the box with him, before hitting the brakes; too fast for Rodriguez to change where he's going. Now Yamal has a foot of space in the box where earlier there was none, and that's all he needs. A touch, a look up, a curler... hit with almost no backlift, right into the far corner, top bins. Unstoppable.
This wasn't a teenager coming on to put the finishing touches on a commanding team display, a fifth goal in a 5-0 drubbing. This was a teenager starting the match and scoring the only goal in a tight, tight encounter, a goal which would give his side three points and keep them both within seeing distance of the top and beyond touching distance of the chasing pack.
And it's not just the average viewer who sees the Messi comparisons. After the match, his manager, Xavi - who knows a thing or two about Messi - said, "Lamine is left-footed, he comes inside ... there are flashes of Messi..." before adding urgently, "But we are talking about the best footballer ever, so it is best not to compare them."
Barcelona teen Lamine Yamal shows 'flashes of Messi' - Xavi
"I get [the comparison] but it doesn't benefit Lamine to make it." Of course, he doesn't. Too many have been hailed as the next Messi only to fade away from the scene while the real deal is still at it.
But when you have a 16-year-old coming in and providing 13 goal contributions in a season of turbulence at one of the biggest clubs on the planet, when you have him winning tough matches with a wave of his left boot, when you have him producing moments of magic... those comparisons are inevitable.
For providing one such moment of proper footballing genius, Lamine Yamal takes our moment of the weekend.
