Legendary Italian forward Alessandro Del Piero spoke to Sky Sport just before the Champions League semi-final clash between Inter and Barcelona.
When asked about the atmosphere at the San Siro stadium, Del Piero commented, “It`s a spectacle to play there, absolutely wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed it as an opponent. The whistles? I actually like them; they make you feel alive.”
Reflecting on his own debut at just 17 years old in Serie B and how it feels to see a player like Lamine Yamal today, Del Piero stated, “He is impressive. While I`m not a big fan of comparisons between different footballing eras, I must say that this young player`s personality – perhaps helped by playing in a youthful team – is truly remarkable. His maturity in making decisions on the field is extraordinary, quite frankly beyond the common, in addition to his already impressive technical abilities.”
