Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez has argued that Barcelona with Kid Lamin Yamal is still uncomparable to Lionel Messi.
At a pre-match meeting via Fcinternews, the 27-year-old placed La Pulga in his own galaxy.
Lautaro Martinez will lead the Nerazzuri line when he rides the Catalan power tomorrow night.
Due to lack of match fitness, all eyes are in Elro, as there is Marcus Thurlam under the microscope.
Certainly, it will be up to the club’s best foreign scorer to end Inter’s disastrous three-game scoring drought in every tournament.
However, Simone Inzagi’s accusations face the Informed Barcelona side in a hostile environment.
In search of revenge from a broken heart in the 2010 semi-finals, Hansiflik’s team wins the field on a whim.
For context, Los Blaugranas won the record 32nd Copa del Rey title last weekend, beating Real Madrid in the Grand Finals.
So they continue to fight for the historic rectangle, with another La Liga title almost in the bag.
Lamine Yamal is the architect of Barca’s outstanding campaign.
Inter Milan star Lauther Roman Martinez refuses to compare Barcelona genius Lamin Yamal and Lionel Messi
Martinez fought alongside the eight Ballon d’Or winners in Qatar almost three years ago.
In fact, LA Pulga led Argentina to its first World Cup since 1986.
In doing so, Messi may have made himself the biggest of all time, so El Toro comment.
“For me, Messi is the best thing ever,” Lautaro said. “Yamaru is a great player.
“He has already won big trophies in both clubs and country. He is an excellent talent with a bright future ahead of him.”
However, Yamal is not the only magician on Barcelona’s intimidating frontline.
Luckily, Robert Lewandowsky is not available for tomorrow’s fixture.
However, Lautaro acknowledges Inter’s awareness of Barca’s offensive threat.
“We know that very well, we need to make a big collective defensive effort, we are a very good defensive team.
“We need to attack and defend together and make the most of our opportunities.”
There is no room for self-compassion
Asked what is behind Inter’s recent recession, Elro gave his opinion. “We have done an incredible job.
“It’s been a long time since we lost three games in a row, and we’re extremely disappointed, we’re not used to it.
“But the group is united and that’s the key. We’re ready for this match.”
“Three years later, we reached the semi-finals of two Champions League, something the club hasn’t done in years.
“We do a great job in a very important competition.
“We are focused on doing our part and realizing the fans’ dreams of reaching another final.
“And we’re focused on playing this amazing opponent and enjoying the game.”
Additionally, he explained what Inter had to do to deal with Barcelona.
“We need unity,” he insisted. “We suffer first and foremost when we lose, and we don’t accept that.
“We also said that we need to say among ourselves, and that it stays in the dressing room.
“My teammates know that. I’ll give it all tomorrow.”
Past examples and the importance of Marcus Thuram
Inter will have to ignore the odds to reach the final, but that’s not in Nerazzuri’s unknown territory.
In fact, Jose Mourinho pioneered the Italian giant into an unprecedented success in 2010 at Barcelona’s expense.
Now, Lauter argues that his teammates must draw inspiration from that incredible story.
“That kind of mind should never be missing,” he added. “It’s important to understand that not all matches are the same, but you have to give them all at all times.
“We are ready for this game, we worked very well and we recovered the energy.
“Now we have to come out with great character, ready for these last hours.
“We have seen how the team is working and how the group is working.
“It was tough regardless of the fact that we weren’t used to losing and not losing three in a row.
“We’re the first to suffer from it, but we’ve trained really well. I see people who want to turn things around.
“This situation isn’t like we’re with, but we’re in a good place as a group.
“It’s important to be a solid group and our staff also helps us create the perfect environment for us to come out there and play.”
Additionally, Argentine strikers welcomed the importance of Salam to this Nerazuri squad.
“Marcus is very important to us. I am happy because we will recover him and he is available to us.
“We don’t know the lineup yet, so we’ll see if he’ll play.
“He’s important, he’s very grown and he can really give us a big boost.”
Individual awards and competition preferences
Inter has more beliefs to win the Champions League than Serie A.
However, Lautaro does not share the same view.
“In all the competitions we’ve always played to win, I don’t agree,” he was stubborn.
“The Champions League is very important and the details make a difference. Maybe we weren’t focused on the league.”
Finally, he once again placed Inter’s interest above his individual desires.
“Individual awards come from winning teams, and I focus on making our fans and our families happy.
“They are the people who suffer the most, and as a result, individual awards come.
“It’s the group that matters to me. When an individual award comes, it’s all thanks to the team.”
