Hansi Flick praises Lamine Yamal after Barcelona's 3-3 draw with Inter Milan in the Champions League.

Lamine Yamal's ascent to superstardom has been as breathtaking as it's been swift. The 17-year-old remains too young to drive, get a tattoo or enjoy an alcohol

Henry's co-anchor and former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher echoed his praise of Lamine Yamal via a bold comparison with Messi's early days at Barcelona. "It was like watching Messi in his heyday. When he got the ball, the whole game stopped, as people wait to see what he's going to do.

The fear that Lamine Yamal provokes in defenders when he gets the ball on Barcelona's right flank has inevitably conjured up comparisons to a young, floppy-haired Lionel Messi. Now, Barcelona 17-year-old star will face one of the very few teams that Messi never could score against when Inter Milan visits on Wednesday in the opening game of their Champions League semifinal.
