Inter must step up to shackle Barca's Yamal, says Bastoni
- Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni called on his team to contain Barcelona's 17-year-old Lamine Yamal in the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg on May 6 at San Siro.
- This match follows a dramatic first leg that ended 3-3, where Yamal impressed with a sublime goal and rapid development since Bastoni first met him at last summer's Euros.
- Inter manager Simone Inzaghi and Bastoni emphasized focusing defensive efforts on Yamal through doubling marks while balancing team shape; Pavard and Lautaro Martinez's availability remain uncertain.
- Bastoni praised Yamal as potentially the best opponent he has faced, stating Yamal "is among the best in the world right now" and the team must give "200%" for success.
- The result will likely hinge on Inter’s ability to manage Yamal’s threat and maintain composure, with both teams aiming for a place in the Champions League final amid high fan expectations.
