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.
