Former Inter Milan star, Ivan Zamorano, has revealed how his former team can stop Barcelona when both sides meet at San Siro for the second leg of the Champions League semifinal on Tuesday.
He pinpointed two key strategies Inter must implement to stop Barça youngster, Lamine Yamal.
The first leg at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys ended in a gripping 3-3 draw, with Yamal stealing the show and capping off his brilliant performance with a Lionel Messi-esque goal.
Speaking with Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter former Man said Yamal is immensely talented.
“There’s no way to stop him,” he said, but added, “If a world-class player is on his day, there’s no way to stop him. You can try to limit him. I believe Inzaghi will find the correct answer.
“Two things come to mind: first, anticipation, Inter should not wait for him to receive the ball, it would be like giving him the first move. Second, they must limit those who provide him with the ball to reduce the number of his touches.”
Meanwhile, Inzaghi has revealed that Yamal will be double-marked in a bid to curtail the spaces he will get.
