The first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal between Barcelona and Inter Milan at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium delivered an absolute thriller! Both teams went all out in an intense match that ended in a dramatic 3-3 draw. Six goals were scored, keeping fans on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
First Half: Inter Off to a Flying Start
It took Inter Milan just one minute to shock the home crowd. Marcus Thuram opened the scoring after receiving a brilliant pass from Denzel Dumfries, giving Inter a 0-1 lead right off the bat.
The Italian side doubled their lead in the 21st minute, this time with Dumfries finding the back of the net following an assist from Francesco Acerbi. At 0-2 down, Barcelona looked rattled but quickly responded through rising star Lamine Yamal, who scored in the 24th minute to make it 1-2.
Barça continued to push forward and managed to equalize just before halftime. In the 42nd minute, Ferran Torres slotted home after a clever assist by Raphinha, sending the match into the break with a 2-2 scoreline.
Second Half: Goal-Fest Continues
Right after the break, both teams made key substitutions. Inter brought on Mehdi Taremi for Lautaro Martinez, while Barça introduced Ronald Araujo and Eric Garcia to stabilize the defense.
Inter regained the lead in the 64th minute when Dumfries netted his second goal of the night from a Hakan Calhanoglu pass. However, that lead didn’t last long. Just a minute later, Barça equalized once again—this time via a Yann Sommer own goal, as the Inter goalkeeper failed to deal with a deflection.
The pace remained high for the rest of the match. Barcelona dominated possession and created more chances, but Inter held firm defensively—despite Sommer’s earlier blunder, he made eight crucial saves to keep his team in the game.
