‘He showed us the path we should follow’

Hansi Flick was greeted by Lamine Yamal after producing a scinting screen after a teenage producer, while Barcelona twice came from behind to draw 3-3 with Inter Milan in a delighted semi-final leg of the Champions League in Estada Olympic Lluis Compatys.

The 17-year-old, achieved his 100th Barcelona performance, made a sublime solo effort and hit twice at the night when two teams traveled with amazing goals, and Marcus Thura and Raphinha had achieved history.

“Lamine showed us the path we should follow,” Flick said after the game.

“I’m very pleased with the team. We have to continue to fight to the end.”

Thuram scored a goal in the semi -final history of the Champions League when he found a net with a brave fluttering shot after only 30 seconds.

Denzel Dumfries then doubled Inter’s advantage with an equally impressive blow over his head before Yamal halved a deficit when he danced through Inter

Obviously the wing player was in an inspired form. Ferran Torres equalized shortly before the break from Raphinha’s header, as a goal in the Brazilian 20th Champions League, this term saw the eclipse of Lionel Messi for the majority in one season for the Catalan club.

Dumfries regained Inter Majity in the second half, but Flick’s side again hit the fierce strike by Raphinh, who hit the bar before Yann Sommer pulled on the road.

Simone Inzaghi’s side was then excluded a goal for the offsid, but the night belonged to Yamal because Barcelona’s hopes of the season with coaching winning remained in the tact.

Flick, however, admitted the threat to their semi -final opponents from Italy.

“We’re talking about the Champions League semi -finals,” said Barca chief.

“The teams are great. They (Inter) have experience, and they showed it today. They had an advantage in the situations set, with four or five high players, and they used it.

“In the first half we had ups and downs, and the second half was spectacular. We’ll play the finals before the finals in Milan.”

Flick and his team travel to San Siro to play Inter on Tuesday in another leg.
