Barcelona and Inter Milan played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Wednesday evening.
The match started with a stunning early goal from Inter’s Marcus Thuram, who scored just 30 seconds into the game with a clever flick past goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
Not long after, Denzel Dumfries doubled Inter’s lead with a spectacular scissor kick, leaving Barcelona stunned. However, La Blaugrana responded swiftly, with Lamine Yamal reducing the deficit before half-time.
Ferran Torres then equalised for Barcelona, setting up a tense second half.
The second period saw more drama, with Dumfries scoring his second goal of the night from another corner, giving Inter a 3-2 lead.
But Barcelona refused to give in, with Yann Sommer inadvertently turning the ball into his own net following a powerful Raphinha shot, bringing the score level at 3-3.
Both sides pushed for a decisive winner in the closing stages but were unable to find one, leaving the tie finely balanced ahead of next Tuesday’s second leg at San Siro.
