Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal continued his extraordinary rise on Wednesday night as he produced a phenomenal individual performance in his team’s Champions League semi-final draw with Inter Milan.

Not since Messi have Barca fans been able to enjoy watching such a mercurial yet effective player as Yamal represent their beloved club. And the teen’s statistics at this tender age already project a greater career even than that of Messi - for many, the greatest player in the history of the sport.

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martínez has said he is impressed by Lamine Yamal but added that there is no comparison between Barcelona's teenage sensation and Lionel Messi.
