Erling Haaland left stunned by Lamine Yamal's Champions League performance as he leaves four-word comment

Erling Haaland was left stunned by Lamine Yamal's outrageous Champions League showing as he inspired Barcelona's first-half comeback against Inter Milan.

Inter opened the scoring in the very first minute when Marcus Thuram produced a lovely flick finish.

Denzel Dumfries doubled Inter's advantage in the 21st minute.

But their two-goal advantage lasted just three minutes as Yamal reduced the deficit with a moment of magic.

He skipped past Henrikh Mkhitaryan then drove into the box before curling home a Lionel Messi-esque strike.

The 17-year-old then almost drew level after fashioning a chance out of nothing. He skinned Federico Dimarco then cut onto his left foot before rattling the bar.

Man City star Haaland couldn't believe his eyes as he marvelled over Yamal's remarkable performance.

On social media, he posted a shot of Yamal in action, accompanied with the caption: "This guy is incredible."

On TNT Sports commentary, Rio Ferdinand said: "Lamine Yamal's putting on a clinic. If Robert Lewandowski is playing, he's getting on the end of two or three of them."

Stephen Warnock also hailed the teenage phenom as he singled out his decision making, adding: "Inter have been doubling up on Lamine Yamal but the distances they are dropping off him have become too big.

"It's hard because if you are too tight on him then he skips past you, but if you stand off him like they have started doing then he can either run at you on the inside or outside, or he has the time to pick a pass, whichever he wants.

"That's where he really stands out because his decision making, for a 17-year-old, is phenomenal."

Yamal, who starred for Spain at last summer's Euro 2024, is enjoying a stunning campaign as he continues to enhance his stellar reputation.
