Lamine Yamal makes Thierry Henry promise after rare request from Arsenal legend live on CBS Sports

Thierry Henry made a request to Lamine Yamal on CBS Sports following his Champions League heroics for Barcelona against Inter Milan.

Barca and Inter played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in the first-leg of their semi-final tie on Wednesday.

Yamal stole the show as he delivered a sensational outing at the Barcelona Olympic Stadium.

He produced a moment of magic to score a remarkable solo goal and almost bagged another when he skinned Inter defender Federico Dimarco, leaving Erling Haaland stunned.

On TNT Sports, Rio Ferdinand, who commentated on the game, made an outlandish claim about the 17-year-old phenom.

After his Champions League brilliance, Yamal spoke to the media, including CBS Sports, where he was asked whether he knew ex-Premier League defenders Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards.

He also spoke to Henry, who told him that he will be in attendance for this month's El Clasico meeting.

The Arsenal legend then asked if he could grab his match-shirt for his son to which Yamal replied by asking for his in return.

So, after Barca's La Liga clash against old rivals Real on May 11, Yamal and Henry will trade shirts, with the teenage sensation set to land one of the Frenchman's old kits.

Henry spoke glowingly about Yamal as he referenced the winger's awareness and calmness.

"What I witnessed tonight from Lamine Yamal... it's not normal to be like that at 17," he said on CBS Sports.

"I'm not talking about what he does when he's on the ball, his awareness, how calm he is, how he sees the game, the way he will defend, put pressure. It's just not normal. We talked about the 100 games that he already has at that age.

"It's just stupid, really. I don't even know what I'm watching, what I'm witnessing, but he played like a man possessed, and when I say 'a man,' he's not even a man yet, technically. It's just not normal."

Yamal continues to impress and enhance his reputation, having excelled for Spain at last summer's Euro 2024.
