Yamal played a key role in Barcelona’s 3-2 Copa del Rey final win over Real Madrid, bagging two assists in the 120 minutes played.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Saka, 23, admitted he was impressed by Yamal’s emergence, claiming he’s ‘not normal.’

Saka said: "He's top. Honestly, doing what he is doing at his age, what can you say, he's unreal. It's not normal. No one does it. I don't think I've seen that level for a 17-year-old, so credit to him."
