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.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
