Simone Inzaghi was left in awe at Lamine Yamal\u2019s performance after the youngster\u2019s star turn against Inter.<\/p>\n Yamal, who became the second-youngest player to start in a Champions League semi-final, marked his 100th Barcelona appearance in style on Wednesday.<\/p>\n The 17-year-old netted a wonderful goal to drag Barca back into it after Inter had stormed into a 2-0 lead courtesy of goals from Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries.<\/p>\n Ferran Torres restored parity before Dumfries scored a second, with Barca equalising again through Yann Sommer\u2019s own goal, leaving the tie delicately poised at 3-3 ahead of next week\u2019s second leg at San Siro.<\/p>\n But it was Yamal who made the headlines, with his goal a thing of beauty. He took on Henrikh Mkhitaryan, skipped into the penalty area and bent a beautiful finish in off the left-hand upright.<\/p>\n \u201cI haven\u2019t seen a player like Yamal in the last eight or nine years,\u201d said Inter boss Inzaghi.<\/p>\n Yamal, who also hit the crossbar twice, finished with 102 touches, a remarkable figure for a winger, while he created two chances and also completed six of his 10 dribble attempts.<\/p>\n He became the youngest ever scorer in a Champions League semi-final, surpassing the record previously held by Kylian Mbappe, while the Spain international is only the second teenager to score in the last 16, quarter-final and semi-final within a single Champions League campaign after Mbappe for Monaco in 2016-17.<\/p>\n Inzaghi, though, was impressed with how Inter got to grips with Yamal in the second half.<\/p>\n \u201cWe had to put three players on him, and naturally that opened up space in other areas,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n \u201cAfter that, his level dropped a bit, and our second half was of very high quality.\u201d<\/p>\n 17 \u2013 At 17 years and 291 days, Lamine Yamal is the youngest player to score in a @ChampionsLeague<\/a> semi-final, surpassing Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 in 2017 (18 years and 140 days).<\/p>\n Leader. pic.twitter.com\/TOR97CXBx3<\/a><\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.soccernews.com\/wp-content\/themes\/SN\/images\/300x250_HR.gif\")
