Real Madrid signing Leonardo Miguel Angel Coira has no problem admitting his admiration for Barcelona star Lionel Messi.
At seven years of age, Coira has become the youngest Argentine to sign for Real, beating Esteban Cambiasso, who joined as a 15 year-old.
Coira has been likened to Messi in the media and he says: "Although my dream is to play in Madrid's first team, my idol is Messi.
"I always prefer to make assists than score goals myself."
