Inter Milan manager, Simone Inzaghi has identified Lamine Yamal as the Barcelona player that caused his team problems during both sides’ UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg tie on Wednesday.
Inzaghi also described the Spain international as a ‘talent that is born once every 50 years’.
According to him, the 17-year-old is a very difficult player to mark.
“[He is a] difficult player to mark,” Inzaghi said at his post-match interview after the game at Camp Nou.
“In the last 25 minutes of the first half Lamine Yamal caused us a lot of problems.
“He is a talent that is born once every 50 years. I had never seen him live and today he impressed me,” he said.
The Champions League semi-final first leg tie between Barcelona and Inter Milan ended in a 3-3 draw.
Yamal was on the scoresheet for Hansi Flick’s side against the visitors.
Ferran Torres, Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries also scored during the encounter.
