In a thrilling Champions League semi-final at the Olympic Stadium in Montjuïc, Barcelona and Inter Milan played to a dramatic 3-3 draw. Inter Milan struck first with a goal from Marcus Thuram just one minute into the match, followed by Denzel Dumfries’ acrobatic volley in the 21st minute. Barcelona responded through Electak Ramin Yamal, who scored shortly after Dumfries’ goal, and Ferran Torres leveled the match just before halftime.
Inter regained the lead in the 64th minute with another goal from Dumfries, but Barcelona answered quickly with a strike from Rafinha that deflected off Inter’s keeper, Jan Sommer. Both teams are set for a decisive return leg in Milan. Barcelona’s Rafinha expressed frustration over conceding goals at home but remains optimistic for the next match.
Despite a tough win over arch-rivals Real Madrid just days prior, Barcelona struggled with injuries, losing star Robert Lewandowski and facing additional concerns with Jules Koundé and Lautaro Martinez sidelined. Yamal showed promise with near misses and crucial plays, while a potential fourth goal for Inter was disallowed for offside.
