The 17-year-old’s display will likely have given Inter Milan’s defenders – and head coach Simone Inzaghi – a few nightmares in the six nights that have since passed. Inzaghi admits it will be impossible to stop Yamal entirely in the second leg, and instead says his team hopes to just prevent him from impacting the game as much as possible. “It’s difficult to handle him, we will try to limit the ball getting to him, but it is impossible,”…
