The reactions to Lamine Yamal's incredible performance against Inter continue to pot in.
Lamine Yamal's talent is undeniable, even to his rivals. The latest victims of the Spaniard's spell to laud his talents are Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi and defender Bastoni.
Yamal scored an incredibly well-taken goal to help Barcelona come from behind to earn a draw at Montjuic against Inter. They could have certainly won the match, as Yamal was nearly unplayable, having hit the woodwork twice in the game.

The match in brief
Inter Milan started the match on a high note, scoring within 30 seconds. Marcus Thuram's clever flick from Denzel Dumfries' delivery caught Barça off guard, and the ball crept past Wojciech Szczęsny into the bottom corner.
Inter doubled their lead in the 21st minute through Dumfries' superb acrobatic strike. However, Barça fought back, with Lamine Yamal scoring a sublime goal and coming close to scoring again just before halftime. The hosts eventually drew level when Raphinha's pass found Torres, who coolly converted from close range.
Inter's set-piece prowess paid dividends when Dumfries headed home from Hakan Çalhanoğlu's corner. However, Barca equalised again just two minutes later, with Raphinha's stunning long-range strike crashing off the bar and against Yann Sommer.
What was said
Yamal had a brilliant outing, and the coach of the opposition, Inzaghi, sang his praises after the match. “We played a great game and are satisfied,” he said. “We were ahead with two goals. We went ahead again and then had a goal ruled out for a centimeter. The boys were incredible today.
“Lamine created huge problems for us. We doubled and tripled him, which opened spaces on other parts of the pitch.
Bastoni, who had to face the winger on multiple occasions, he said, "Lamine Yamal? He is the best winger in the world. When someone does something like what he does, we have to say bravo."
