'Not even 10%!' - Lamine Yamal's father makes promise after Barcelona superstar puts in dazzling Champions League display against Inter

FIFA Club World Cup

Monterrey

Inter

<p>Yamal lit up the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/better-lionel-messi-lamine-yamal-ultimate-compliment-former-barcelona-star-stunning-display-inter-told-what-must-do-goat/blt654c945d270744ec#cs8f7a90300a232f04" target="_blank">Champions League stage in sensational fashion</a> as Barcelona clashed with Inter, making history while leaving defenders chasing shadows. The young forward netted the opening goal for the Catalan giants and consistently troubled both Federico Dimarco and Alessandro Bastoni with his relentless energy and skill as the Catalan club came back from <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-player-ratings-inter-champions-league-lamine-yamal/blt1da55115e450d902" target="_blank">being two goals down to draw 3-3.</a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Yamal etched his name into the Champions League record books by becoming the youngest player ever to score in a semi-final match, surpassing the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/lamine-yamal-ballon-dor-rio-ferdinand-raves-barcelona-teenager-starring-role-thrilling-champions-league-draw-inter-milan/blt7c99c3d8a331270c#csb1d213add31bac97" target="_blank">previous benchmark set by Kylian Mbappe</a>. Following the match, Lamine’s father, Mounir Nasraoui, shared his pride and insisted that the world has only seen a small glimpse of what’s to come.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In an interview on the popular Spanish football program <em>El Chiringuito</em>, hosted by Josep Pedrerol, Nasraoui said: "He has a lot of strength to continue. He has been working since he was five years old. No one is going to stop him. What has been seen is not even ten per cent of what he can give, I can promise you."</p><p>While many might be tempted to draw comparisons between Yamal and other footballing icons, Mounir made it clear that his son isn’t trying to be the next Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. According to him, Lamine is carving his own identity, focused on remaining grounded and inspiring those closest to him.</p><p>"He doesn't compare himself to Messi, Ronaldo or (Diego) Maradona," he said. "He is Lamine and he wants to be an idol in his neighbourhood, with normal people, just like anyone."</p>

WHAT YAMAL'S FATHER SAID

<p>Barcelona’s promising youngster isn’t slowing down anytime soon. With the second leg of the Champions League semi-final set to be played at the iconic San Siro on Tuesday, May 6, all eyes will once again be on Yamal. However, before returning to continental action, Barcelona must switch their focus back to domestic competition as the La Liga leaders are set to travel to face Valladolid on Saturday.</p>
