    Barcelona have been one of the best sides to watch since Hansi Flick took over at the Catalan club with his gung-ho approach, with Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Yamal hitting their peak output to place the Blaugrana in the hunt for their third European treble. Barcelona won their first trophy of the season last weekend as they beat Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final while they continue to lead the title race in La Liga.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The biggest question mark over their season remains their ability to go all the way in the Champions League, as they met with Inter in the first leg of the semi-final and played out a thrilling 3-3 draw at the Estadi Olimpic. The game saw Yamal take up the chunk of the responsibility as he ran the Serie A side's defence ragged on multiple occasions and even scored a spectacular Lionel Messi-esque goal, and City striker Haaland couldn't believe his eyes.

    On Snapchat, Haaland posted a photo of himself watching Yamal play, and wrote: "This guy is incredible."

    WHAT NEXT FOR YAMAL?

    The 17-year-old has been playing like a 27-year-old player in his prime, and his presence has been a massive help for Barcelona's highly offensive approach. Yamal will likely be rested for Barcelona's next clash against La Liga bottom side Real Valladolid this weekend as they prepare for the return leg against Inter on Tuesday, May 6.
