UCL: ‘He’s a genius’ – Hansi Flick singles out one Barcelona player

Barcelona manager, Hansi Flick has singled out winger Lamine Yamal for special praise.

Flick described the Spain international as a genius ahead of his side’s UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg tie with Inter Milan on Tuesday night.

The German spoke at his pre-match press conference on Monday ahead of the encounter at San Siro.

“We have exceptional players, with Lamine Yamal, who is a genius,” Flick told reporters.

“But it is the team that is the most important thing. We need all our players to be at their best,” he added.

Yamal was impressive during the first leg encounter as the 17-year-old registered his name on the scoresheet.

Flick’s side played a 3-3 draw against Inter Milan in the first leg last week at Camp Nou.

Barcelona head to the game after beating Real Valladolid 2-1 in the LaLiga at the weekend.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, also won 1-0 against Verona in the Serie A.
