Simone Inzaghi: "We have developed a special tactic against Lamin Yamal, but it will be difficult to stop him"

Tonight, football fans will turn their eyes to Milan, as the second leg of the Champions League semifinal between Inter and Barcelona takes place. Ahead of the match, Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi shared his thoughts on team tactics and the opponent’s most dangerous player.

At the press conference, Inzaghi also spoke about Barcelona’s 17-year-old star Lamine Yamal. The coach admitted it would be tough to fully contain the young talent.

“Lamine Yamal? We’ve prepared a special plan against him. We’ll try not to let him get the ball too often, but that’s almost impossible. That’s why two of our players will be tasked with closely marking him. We’ll watch him carefully and try to restrict his movement. But we know how hard he is to stop,” said Inzaghi.

Lamine Yamal has shined in the Champions League this season, drawing the attention of top clubs. His pace, technique, and goal-scoring ability have become key for Barcelona. In the first leg against Inter, he had one goal and one assist.

The first match in Catalonia ended in a thrilling 3–3 draw, which makes tonight’s clash even more intense.

The game will take place at San Siro Stadium in Milan, kicking off at 00:00 Tashkent time. The match will be officiated by Polish referee Szymon Marciniak.

Fans eagerly await to see which team will win and advance to the final. It promises to be an unforgettable night of football!
