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.
