“Lamine (Yamal) showed us the way with this incredible goal, because it was essential to score this goal after we lost two goals. He played really well,” said Barcelona Hansi Flick Movistar Plus.
“We played with style and tried to win. Lamine was a very important player for us … in big games, as he has already shown, he always appears.”
Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi was also full of praise for Yamala and revealed that he had to make several adjustments at half -time to try to hold the talented teenager.
“We had to be better on Lamine Yamal, but it is much easier to say from the outside. He is a player who impressed me and created a lot of problems for us, especially in the last 30 minutes of the first half,” Inzaghi said.
“Barca is a team of fantastic players and we come here and plays a game like this, against the most beautiful and beautiful team in the world, they have to boast us. We could also win it, but we played against a team to mark a player to create so many problems for us.
“It’s a talent that is born every 50 years. I have never seen him live and impressed me today.”
