Barcelona Vs Inter Highlights
Barcelona and Inter played out a Champions League semi-final first leg classic at the Olympic Stadium in Montjuic on Wednesday.
The swashbuckling 3-3 draw certainly gave supporters their money’s worth. Especially as Denzel Dumfries and Lamine Yamal sparkled on the biggest stage.
The absorbing encounter witnessed its opening goal inside the very first minute. France international Marcus Thuram’s outrageous flicked finish gave the Serie A side the lead.
Dumfries doubled Inter’s advantage when he hooked home from close range. The stunned Barca fans started to fear the worse before teenage sensation Yamal sprung into action.
Picking up the ball out wide, the 17-year-old prodigy danced his way through the Nerazzurri defence before unleashing a superb curling effort that went in off the post.
Before the interval, the Blaugrana were back on level terms. Ferran Torres knocked the ball home after a smart headed assist from Raphinha.
Star forward Lautaro Martinez didn’t reappear for the second period after he suffered a muscle injury just before the half-time whistle. However, that didn’t deter Inter from taking a 3-2 lead.
Dumfries netted his second as he headed in from a corner after 64 minutes. The sixth and final goal came courtesy of a Raphinha long-ranger which smacked the cross bar and bounced in off the unfortunate Yann Sommer.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan managed to net a fourth Nerazzurri goal but the Armenian’s effort was chalked off for offside. The dazzling Yamal alnost netted his second of the night but his chipped effort hit the bar.
The Barcelona vs Inter H2H record still stands in the Spaniard’s favor after Wednesday’s breathtaking tie. Nonetheless, the Serie A giants will be hopeful of getting the job done at the San Siro next week.
