Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca believes that young stars Estevao and Lamine Yamal have the potential to become iconic rivals like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the future.
However, Maresca reminded that both need time and space to develop naturally.
"As Raphinha said, maybe in 10-15 years, Estevao and Lamine Yamal could be the next Messi and Ronaldo. However, they're only 18. They have to enjoy the game and keep improving every day. That's the most important thing for them," Maresca said, as quoted by BeIN Sports on Wednesday.
The comments came after Estevao put in a brilliant performance in Chelsea's 3-0 Champions League win over Barcelona at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
