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 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 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.
