UCL: Inter Milan’s Thuram names only two players currently better than Barcelona’s Yamal

Inter Milan star, Marcus Thuram has named the only two players currently better than Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal in world football.

Thuram and Yamal were among the goalscorers during both teams’ UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg 3-3 draw at Camp Nou on Wednesday.

Yamal’s first half goal ensured he become the youngest player to score in a Champions League semi-final, surpassing Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe’s record.

After the game, Thuram was asked if he considered Yamal to be the best player in the world at the moment.

The Frenchman responded by insisting that Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain’s Ousmane Dembele are better than Yamal.

“No… The best player in the world is French,” Thuram was quoted by @TouchlineX as saying.

“And the second best too. After that, Lamine Yamal… The best players are Dembélé and Mbappé.”

Meanwhile, both Inter and Barcelona will meet in the Champions League semi-final second leg at San Siro next week.
