Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said on Friday that Lamine Yamal must work hard and continue to replicate his Inter Milan performance to reach the level of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Teenage star Lamine Yamal says he is focused on his own game rather than comparisons with Lionel Messi as Barcelona aim to reach their first Champions League final for a decade.Barcelona have not reached the showpiece event since they last won the title in 2015,

It is becoming hard to remain calm about Lamine Yamal. Barcelona’s winger is still just 17, an age where similarly precocious talents have shone before flaming out. It is best to be cautious with expectation levels for any teenage prodigies.
