Inter Milan boss Inzaghi singles one Barcelona star out for special praise after UCL clash | OneFootball

Inter Milan head coach Simone Inzaghi was quick to reveal his admiration for Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal on Wednesday night.

This, of course, comes fresh off another dazzling individual showing on the part of the 17-year-old.

Barcelona welcomed Italian champions Inter to Catalunya’s capital yesterday evening, for the first leg of a Champions League semi-final tie.

The aforementioned Lamine, for his part, featured from the off in the matchup, from his customary berth on the right flank.

And en route to an eventual 3-3 stalemate, the Spanish international proved himself the star of the show.

Lamine was nothing short of unplayable over lengthy stretches of the 90 on Wednesday, carving open a generally stern Inter backline at will.

The winger was also responsible for setting Barcelona’s comeback in motion, courtesy of a stunning individual goal.

And one individual who could not help but be impressed by such exploits, as alluded to above, was the man on the visiting bench at Montjuïc.

Speaking to the media on the back of the full-time whistle in the clash, in fact, Simone Inzaghi went as far as to state:

“I haven’t seen a player like Lamine Yamal in the last eight or nine years We had to put three players on him! He is clearly a talent of the type born once every 50 years.“
