    Yamal was the star of the show for Barcelona on Wednesday night, as the 17-year-old talent produced a moment of pure magic in the 24th minute of the Champions League semi-final first leg against Inter. With his team 2-0 down and under the cosh, the Spaniard scored a stunning solo goal that had it all: flair, dribbling, close control, finesse, and skill.

  • WHAT SIMONE INZAGHI SAID ABOUT YAMAL

    Inter boss Simone Inzaghi was effusive in his praise for the La Masia graduate, stating that a player like him is "born once every 50 years".

    “I’ve never seen a player like Lamine Yamal in the last eight or nine years. We had to put three on him and, obviously, spaces opened up elsewhere," Inzaghi told Prime Video after the game.

    “He caused us huge problems, as we had to double up the marking every time, it wasn’t enough, so by tripling up we’d leave gaps elsewhere and were forced to sit deeper.

    “Fortunately, he too lost some intensity over time, as Barcelona too have played many games this season. It was a very good second-half performance.

    “Talents like Yamal are born once every 50 years.”

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The game against Inter was Yamal's 100th official appearance for the Catalans. Having made his debut aged 15, the Euro 2024 winner has become an indispensable member of Hansi Flick's team and marked a century of games with his boyhood club by becoming the youngest player in the history of the Champions League to score a goal in the semi-final.

    WHAT NEXT?

    All eyes will be on the Spaniard when Barcelona visit San Siro in the return leg next week. It will likely take something special from Yamal and Co. to breach the Nerazzurri's fortress and, should they progress, it will be Barca's first appearance in the Champions League final since 2015.
