Afterwards, Flick said: "Today we saw what he is capable of.
"Today we saw a very good version of his repertoire, it's fantastic to have him in our team. Comparisons with (Lionel) Messi and (Diego) Maradona? I don't really like making comparisons.
"Lamine is very good, he's a genius and what he's done in some plays is incredible and I'm very happy that he plays for Barcelona. At 17, he's doing very well. I love this boy."
