Barcelona starlet Lamine Yamal has vowed to bring UEFA Champions League glory back to Camp Nou after the club’s dramatic semi-final elimination by Inter Milan.
According to The Press Nigeria, the 17-year-old winger shared an emotional message with fans following Tuesday night’s pulsating second-leg clash, which ended in a 3–3 draw after extra time. Despite a spirited performance, Barcelona were edged out as Inter Milan advanced to the final with a 7–6 aggregate win.
The match featured goals from Lautaro Martinez, Hakan Calhanoglu, Eric Garcia, Dani Olmo, Raphinha, and Francesco Acerbi. Davide Fratessi’s extra-time goal ultimately sealed Inter’s place in the final.
Speaking after the match, Yamal remained defiant and optimistic, promising that Barcelona’s young squad would fight to reclaim their place at the top of European football.
“We gave it our all — this year it couldn’t be, but we will return, have no doubt about it,” Yamal said, as quoted by The Press Nigeria via transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.
“Culers, we won’t stop until we put this club where it belongs: at the very top. I will keep my promise and bring it to Barcelona; we won’t stop until we achieve it.”
The teenager also urged fans to stay united as the team continues its campaign on other fronts.
“But Sunday is another final, and we all need to be together. Visca el Barça!” he added.
Barcelona’s exit ends their hopes for a sixth Champions League title, while Inter Milan move on to face the winner of Wednesday’s clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal.
