In the upcoming Champions League semi-final second leg, Inter Milan's Alessandro Bastoni emphasizes the importance of stopping Barcelona's prodigy, Lamine Yamal. After Yamal's impressive solo goal in the thrilling first leg, which ended in a 3-3 draw, Bastoni acknowledges the teenager's rapid rise. He noted Yamal's statistical achievements this season, such as six goals in the tournament, and strategizes that Inter will need to focus on him without leaving gaps for the rest of the Barcelona team as they prepare for a tense return leg.
Yamal has netted six goals in the competition this season. Only Erling Haaland, Mbappe, and Raul have scored more in a single season before turning 20.
Bastoni expressed his admiration for Yamal: 'I think he is among the best in the world right now. We'll have to double, maybe triple (mark) him...'
The electrifying first leg with its early drama and late chaos has set the stage for a thrilling second leg at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
The previous match was the joint-highest score draw in a Champions League semi-final, alongside Dynamo Kyiv's 3-3 draw with Bayern Munich.
