Barcelona's teenage sensation, Lamine Yamal, is poised to be a pivotal figure in the upcoming UEFA Champions League semi-final clash against Inter Milan. At just 17 years old, Yamal has already etched his name into the club's history books, becoming the youngest player to score and assist in the same Champions League match during Barcelona's 3-1 victory over Benfica in the Round of 16.

Yamal's confidence is as remarkable as his talent. Following Liverpool's elimination from the tournament, he boldly declared Barcelona as the new favourites to clinch the Champions League title, stating, "We are the favourites for the Champions League."

Under the guidance of manager Hansi Flick, Barcelona has embraced a high-pressing, attacking style of play. This approach has yielded impressive results, with the team scoring 132 goals in 43 matches across all competitions this season.

As Barcelona prepares to face Inter Milan, Yamal's creativity and fearless approach could be the key to unlocking the Italian side's formidable defense, which has conceded only five goals in the tournament so far.

The first leg of the semi-final is scheduled for April 30 at Barcelona's temporary home, Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, with the return leg set for May 6 at the San Siro. All eyes will be on Yamal to see if his "stardust" can propel Barcelona to their first Champions League final since 2015.
