The Lamine Yamal phenomenon (17) has struck again. This Wednesday evening, on the occasion of the semi-final go to the Champions League between Barça and Inter Milan (3-3), disputed at the Montjuïc stadium, the young Spanish right winger once again spread out his genius.
Led 2-0 from the 21st minute, the Barcelonais seemed to the edge of the sinking. But the 2024 European champion sounded the revolt. From its right flank, Yamal sparked a sharp breakthrough in the surface before unchecking a strike from the left which hit the opposite post to finally deceive Yann Sommer. An action of brilliance, purely individual, which dumbfounded more than one observer, starting with Thierry Henry, consultant for CBS Sports.
“It's just abnormal”
The former Blues striker did not hide his stupor in front of the Iberian prodigy. “What always surprises me in football is that you always say that it is impossible that someone is better, or can be better, or seems better than Ronaldo and Messi, and in my time Pelé and Maradona, Zidane, R9 or other. And then Lamine Yamal arrives. It's just crazy what he's doing. It's simply abnormal “he said.
The former Masia accumulates 15 goals and 24 assists this season, or 39 direct contributions in 49 games with the Blaugrana jersey.
