“When I took Lamine Yamal off, I told him I was proud of him, but with this scoreline, I had to make the substitution,” he told reporters.

“Lamine today, also, when you see the first goal he scored. Unbelievable. So for me, at the moment, this is the best player in the world.

“So, I’m very happy with his performance. This is what I love to see. Of course he has a lot of pressure. He is 19 years old and he played so far nearly ever game, also with the national team, but he’s 100% focused and 100% committed with everything. This is really, good.

“It’s amazing, his performance and his attitude. This is how big, big players act.”
