Simone Inzaghi was pleased with the performance of his players away from home and picked out Lamine Yamal for special praise when discussing the problems the Italians faced:

💬 “We played a great game, clearly were 2-0 up, I still haven’t seen why (Mkhitaryan’s) goal was disallowed, so there are also regrets, but we know we put in a great performance against, in my view, the best team in the world.

“We tried to fix a few things, as Lamine Yamal is a player whose quality I haven’t seen for at least eight or nine years.

“He caused us huge problems, as we had to double up the marking every time. It wasn’t enough, so by tripling up we’d leave gaps elsewhere and were forced to sit deeper.

“Fortunately, he too lost some intensity over time, as Barcelona have also played many games this season. It was a very good second-half performance.”
