Barcelona and Inter played to a thrilling 3-3 draw in the Champions League semifinals, highlighted by Lamine Yamal’s exceptional play, proving his status not just as a future star but as one of today’s top talents.

Yamal showcased his skills by taking four shots and contributing two chances for his team, scoring a crucial goal in the 24th minute that initiated Barcelona’s comeback from a 2-0 deficit. The performance left many, including Thierry Henry, in awe.

“What I witnessed tonight from Lamine Yamal … it’s not normal to be like that at 17,” Henry remarked during the post-match show, praising Yamal’s composure and defensive abilities.

Henry compared Yamal’s early achievements to those of legends like Messi and Ronaldo, suggesting that the 17-year-old is on a trajectory to greatness.

Yamal’s performance not only received acclaim from analysts and former players but also sparked a conversation about the next generation of soccer stars. At the end of the interview, Henry requested Yamal’s jersey for his son and happily agreed to exchange jerseys with the young player.
