On Wednesday, Barcelona and Inter Milan drew 3-3 in the Champions League thanks to a performance that will live in history thanks to Lamine Yamal. After Inter had built a 2-0 lead, the Barcelona sensation, who only turned 17 in July, scored a spectacular goal and was a persistent threat throughout the evening.
Fans, commentators, coaches, and players have all praised Yamal for his individual masterpiece. “He is a genius and unique. After the game, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick stated, “He shows up in the big matches,” according to BBC Sport. “If it only comes every 50 years like Simone [Inzaghi] said, I’m glad it’s for Barcelona.”
Indeed, after this team’s draw at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, Inter manager Inzaghi talked highly of the talented Yamal. The Guardian reported the Italian, who is currently placed fifth on our ranking of the greatest managers in world football, as stating, “We could have even won this game against a team who have a player who is difficult to stop.”
“We got off to a good start, but they caused a lot of issues: he caused a lot of issues. I had never seen him play live before. We needed to give him two chances. In the second half, we played better and had a chance to win. Every fifty years, a phenomena known as Lamine Yamal is born. After the break, we made some changes to better handle him, which is not always simple. I was quite amazed by him today. Below are some of Yamal’s breathtaking highlights:
Micah Richards of CBS Sports stated that Yamal is the best player of his age that we have seen since Lionel Messi, who is considered by many to be the greatest football player of all time. There is no greater praise.
Thuram Names Two Players ‘Better’ Than Yamal
Inter star doesn’t believe Barcelona starlet isn’t top just yet
Marcus Thuram of Inter, who scored the first goal against Barcelona with a beautiful flip after just 30 seconds, doesn’t think Yamal is the best football player in the world right now, though. According to Fabrizio Romano, Thuram answered the following query in a post-match interview with reporters:
“No, the French player is the world’s finest and second-best. Lamine Yamal came next. Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele are the finest players.
Unquestionably, Dembele and Mbappe have both excelled for Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, respectively, this season. Together with Yamal, both France internationals are presently vying for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.

Considering the Barcelona youngster’s age, it is nevertheless impressive that Yamal is presently ranked third in the world rather than first. The thought of how good he might be in five or ten years is unsettling.
