“This kid is unbelievable” — Erling Haaland praises Lamine Yamal
Lamine Yamal’s outstanding performance in Barcelona’s 3-3 draw against Inter Milan on Wednesday night in the Champions League continues to spark reactions across the football world. The latest to weigh in: Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.
A key figure in Barça’s dramatic comeback during the semifinal first leg, the 17-year-old wonderkid scored a stunning goal and delivered a string of dazzling plays that nearly produced a second.
His display left a strong impression on Haaland. Watching the match on TV after his own team’s elimination from the tournament at the hands of Real Madrid, the Norwegian star was clearly struck by the youngster’s talent.
Haaland shared a screenshot from the game on his Snapchat story, captioned simply: “This kid is unbelievable.”
The return leg between Barça and Inter, set for next Tuesday, promises to be just as explosive.
