Both players flashed during Barcelona's 3-3 draw against Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.
As seen in a trending video on X, the 18-year-old winger scored one of the best goals on the night in a brilliant solo effort, embarrassing Onyedika in the process with a silky skill.
Yamal got the ball from deep and dribbled past the Super Eagles midfielder with ease, before doing a one-two with Olmo and slotting the ball beyond the goalkeeper.
His goal has been compared to Lionel Messi's goal during his playing time with the Spanish giants. Yamal said via Tribuna:
“Comparisons with Messi’s goals? No, no. Messi has scored thousands of goals like this, so I can’t compare myself to him.
“I’m just trying to improve and go my own way. "I hope to score more goals like this in the future.”
Yamal has scored two goals and provided two assists in the UEFA Champions League this season, per Transfermarkt.
