The Man Is an Absolute Superstar – Carragher Praises Lamine Yamal
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher had high praise for Lamine Yamal after Barcelona’s dramatic Champions League semi-final clash with Inter Milan ended in heartbreak for the Spanish side on Tuesday night. Carragher called the young Spain international a “superstar” and said he didn’t deserve to be on the losing side after such an outstanding performance.
Inter took an early 2-0 lead through goals from Lautaro Martinez and Hakan Calhanoglu. But Barcelona responded strongly, with Eric Garcia and Dani Olmo leveling the score, before Raphinha fired them ahead. Inter’s Francesco Acerbi made it 3-3 before the game went into extra time, where Davide Frattesi sealed the win for the Serie A giants.
Speaking on CBS Sports, Carragher couldn’t hide his admiration for Yamal’s impact over both legs, saying the teenager came close to snatching victory in regular time and nearly turned the game around in extra time. He added that one of the biggest disappointments of the final in Munich would be not getting to see Yamal on the grand stage, given how exceptional he’s been throughout the tie.
Kylian Mbappé has named former Spanish international Sergio Ramos as his ideal captain, calling him a natural-born leader. In an interview with Canal Plus, the French forward praised Ramos for his commanding presence and influence both on and off the pitch.
“My dream captain? Sergio Ramos,” Mbappé said. “He was born to lead. Whether it’s in the dressing room or on the field, his presence speaks for itself. Even without the armband, it feels like the armband chooses him.”
Mbappé and Ramos shared two seasons together at Paris Saint-Germain, appearing in 51 matches as teammates. The connection between the two clearly left a mark on the 25-year-old striker. Ramos eventually returned to La Liga with Sevilla after leaving PSG. As for Mbappé, he made headlines by joining Real Madrid in 2024 after choosing not to renew his contract with PSG, leaving on a free transfer.
Former Cameroonian player, Geremi Njitap claims that Inter Miami has no chance of winning the FIFA World Cup this season.
The former player shared that despite Lionel Messi being on the team, there is no chance of winning the FIFA cup, he also added that Messi has passed his prime.
“Lionel Messi is no longer young, he is going to come up against great clubs who have great players in the peak of their careers. Does he have a chance of winning it? I don’t think so.”
Ex Chelsea Striker, Tore Andre Flo praises the club for their recent decision on signing in AC Milan goalkeeper, Mike Maignan.
The former striker explained the decision as a smart move on Chelsea’s part and highlighted how strong the team’s defense will become.
“It sounds like a good signing to me. A club like Chelsea would improve the squad straight away if there was any doubt [over Robert Sanchez]. To me it sounds very, very smart.”
