Lamine Yamal didn't hesitate naming the one player he wants Barcelona to sign

Lamine Yamal picked three players who he wishes to play alongside, including one player he wants Barcelona to sign.

The 17-year-old sensation made his 100th appearance for the Blaugrana on Wednesday night, starring in a breathtaking Champions League semi-final first leg against Inter Milan.

The visitors were 2-0 up and flying after goals from Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries but Yamal reduced the deficit with an outrageous solo goal which reminded fans that he is truly a generational talent.

The Spain international beat two players down the right and curled the ball in off the far post for his 15th goal of the season.

Barca played out a 3-3 draw, with Yamal once again shining and proving he is a generational talent.

Hansi Flick's side is not short of quality but a few months back, in an interview with Mundo Deportivo, Yamal named his three favourite players and identified one who he wants his club to sign.

He selected former Barca star Neymar, who he called a "legend" and someone who "has always been my idol".

Surprisingly, Yamal also opted for another Brazilian in Savinho, who joined Manchester City in the summer from Troyes for a fee of £33 million.

But he completed the trident by choosing Bayern Munich and Germany's Jamal Musiala, who was the joint Golden Boot winner at Euro 2024.

Pressed about which of the three he would sign, Yamal replied: "You want me to say Neymar… but no: Musiala, who has a contract."

Musiala left Chelsea to join Bayern as a 16-year-old in 2019 and has made 202 appearances for the Bavarians, winning four Bundesliga titles.

He has been linked with the likes of Manchester City and Real Madrid - as well as Barca given his links with Flick - but Musiala committed his future to Bayern until 2030 at the start of the year.

Yamal came up against Musiala in the Euros quarter finals, with Spain beating Germany 2-1 in extra time after Mikel Merino's 119th minute winner.

Beforehand Musiala was extremely complimentary of Yamal and the way in which he was performing at just 16 - making a comparison to where he was at the same age.

"To be at this level at 16 is really amazing," Musiala told Sky Sports.

"At 16, I didn't have the physical prerequisites to train with the first-team. And he can consistently play and keep up at this level. That's really cool to see."
