Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has on Monday sent a fresh message of appreciation the way of former Blaugrana standout Neymar Jr.<\/p>\n
This comes as Hansi Flick\u2019s troops prepare their best efforts for another historic comeback on the continent tomorrow evening.<\/p>\n

Barcelona are currently preparing for a Champions League quarter-final return leg meeting with La Liga rivals Atl\u00e9tico\u00a0Madrid.<\/p>\n
The Spanish champions trail by two goals to nil following the tie\u2019s opener at the Spotify Camp Nou, therefore requiring a minor miracle to turn things around on the road on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Barca\u2019s stars, though, can draw inspiration from the club\u2019s players of years gone by, in particular the famed \u2018Remontada\u2019 squad of 2016\/17.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned Neymar proved himself the leading figure in the Blaugrana\u2019s historic comeback over Paris Saint-Germain, conjuring up a stunning individual display.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media on the eve of his side\u2019s trip to the Metropolitano, the name of the Brazilian icon was therefore put to Lamine Yamal.<\/p>\n
And the 18-year-old took full advantage of the opportunity to lavish praise on his biggest inspiration:<\/p>\n
\u201cNeymar is my idol and he shaped my childhood. You\u2019d pay for a ticket just to watch him, and three days later you\u2019d watch again what he did. I thank him for what he\u2019s given to football, and I hope he\u2019s at the World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n
