Alessandro Bastoni has hailed the brilliance of Lamine Yamal after his intense duel with the 17-year-old Barcelona forward in both of their Champions League semi-finals.
Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni has taken to Instagram to praise Lamine Yamal, calling the 17-year-old Barcelona forward another “Monster” in football.
This of course comes after the pair locked horns on the continent earlier this week.
Inter played host to Hansi Flick’s Barcelona on Tuesday night, in the 2nd leg of a highly-anticipated Champions League semi-final showdown.
When all was said and done, it was the former who marched on, booking their spot in the finale of the competition courtesy of a 7-6 aggregate triumph.
‘I’m only now beginning to realise how สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน incredible we were on Tuesday. The effort we put into the pitch was enormous and it was all rewarded and even more so by the unforgettable energy of the fans.’
“I am so grateful to all my teammates for their spirit, their hunger and their heart. Fighting alongside each other is what made all the sacrifices we made since we were kids worth it,” Bastoni wrote in a post.
The Nerazzurri defender also posted his praise for teenage forward Yamal, adding: ‘Respect for our opponents, they showed incredible strength and heart, and a special shout out to a good boy like Lamine Yamal, you are a Monster.’
