World press bows to Lamine Yamal

Lamine Yamal is in very good form.

Yamal fever is spreading across the global sports press after his brilliant performance in the Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Inter Milan. International media has used words such as “alien”, “untamable beast”, “inspirational” to praise the 17-year-old player who played a central role in bringing Barca back to the dramatic match.

Brilliant performance against Inter

Despite falling behind twice, Barcelona still fought back, thanks largely to the brilliant performance of Yamal. The player born in 2007 made the experienced defenders of the Serie A representative "sweat" throughout the 90 minutes.

Before the match, Yamal had problems warming up and almost couldn't play. However, when the opening whistle blew, he "magically" became the center of attention with his speed, technique and calmness rare for a teenager. From dribbling down the right wing to the equalizer that revived Barca's hope, Yamal was the factor that turned the game around.

Gazzetta dello Sport (Italy) called Yamal “an alien”, emphasizing that the player played as if he were playing with friends in the park. “He spread his arms like a captain, controlled the tempo of the game, and left the Inter defense completely helpless,” the article described.

A Bola (Portugal) emphasized: "He carried the whole Barca team on his shoulders. After the equalizer, Yamal almost doubled the gap with a shot that hit the crossbar, leaving goalkeeper Sommer rooted to the spot."

The Times (UK) wrote: “Lamine Yamal inspired the whole team. At 17, he played with incredible maturity in a pressure-filled Champions League semi-final.”

The Guardian hailed Yamal as “a flawless performance” and recalled his words: “I left Mataró Park scarred as a child.” On the Montjuïc night, there was no trace of fear from the teenager.

Rarely is a 17-year-old playing as well as Lamine Yamal right now.

L'Équipe (France) also affirmed that Lamine Yamal was completely worthy of being the "best player of the match", although this title belonged to Denzel Dumfries. Olé (Argentina) used the phrase "untamed beast" to describe the rebellion and destructive power that Yamal brought to the Inter defense. "Even though it was his 100th match in a Barca shirt, he still played with the spirit of someone who broke all limits", the newspaper wrote.

The Sun (UK) did not hesitate to compare Yamal with Lionel Messi: "If he continues to play like this, those comparisons are inevitable."

Barcelona's new pride

At 17, Lamine Yamal has made 100 appearances for Barcelona's first team - a milestone few players have reached so early. The match was not only a personal highlight, but also a testament to the bright future of Barca as they find a new leader in attack.

The performance against Inter showed that Yamal is not only a talent, but also a player who knows how to shine at the right time. After what he showed, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yamal is the spiritual support, a star with rare expertise for Barcelona.

The return leg at Giuseppe Meazza promises to be a tough test, but also an opportunity for Yamal to continue to assert himself on the biggest stage in Europe. If he continues to maintain his current form, there is no doubt that Yamal can become a new symbol of Barcelona and world football in the near future.
