Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has issued a glowing Lamine Yamal verdict following his Champions League semi-final heroics for Barcelona against Inter.

After conceding twice in the opening minutes 21 minutes, the 17-year-old dragged his side back into the first leg with a sensational left-footed strike after evading several challenges. A further three goals would follow in the remainder of the game with the six-goal thriller ending level.

The Arsenal icon said: "I'm going to watch the [El] Clasico [Barcelona vs Real Madrid], would it be possible for you to give me your shirt, for my son?"

Yamal responded: "I'll have to do a swap, you have mine and I'll have yours."

"The Barça one, I suppose?," Henry retorted back.

"Barcelona, the Arsenal shirt, whichever one you want," the Barcelona youngster replied. Alongside almost all football fans, Saka thoroughly enjoyed the semi-final between the Spanish giants and Inter.

"Top game," he admitted when asked for his thoughts on Barcelona vs Inter during an interview with Sky Sports. "I enjoyed it. A lot of quality on show."

Asked specifically about Yamal, he added: "He's top. Honestly, doing what he is doing at his age, what can you say, he's unreal. It's not normal. No one does it. I don't think I've seen that level for a 17-year-old, so credit to him."
