In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona played away against Inter Milan, and the two teams fought 3:3 in the first leg, and all suspense remained in this game.

The whole game was ups and downs. Inter Milan had the advantage in the first half, and Lautaro and Cialhanoglu scored two goals in a row, but when they came back in the second half, Barcelona fought back and scored three goals in a row to overtake the score.

In the end, Inter Milan narrowly defeated Barcelona 7:6 in two rounds, and led the way to the finals first.

The offensive ideas of both sides are very clear. Yamal is still the center of Barcelona's offense, while Inter Milan relies on Dumfries' strength to continue to beat Gerard Martin. In the 18th minute, Inter Milan quickly broke through the wing, and made a threatening cross, which was blocked by Eric Garcia who returned to defense and was blocked from the bottom line!

However, Inter Milan still uses the opportunity of set pieces or sideline balls to continuously create opportunities to threaten the ball. In the 45th minute, Lautaro created a point, and Cialhanolu achieved it overnight, 0:2! Inter Milan expands its lead.

Halftime Comments

The entire first half, there is a clear difference, that is, Barcelona's offense has dropped a lot compared to the first leg! Inter Milan continued its strength in the first round.

Inter Milan used its tough confrontation to counterattack Dumfries, Lautaro and Toulam Jr. The continuous insertion of three points posed a great threat to Barcelona. Barcelona's offensive end has also created many offensive opportunities. Yamal is still a strong attack point, but several offensive points on the front line have repeatedly missed good opportunities.

For the situation where two goals are behind, Frick simply emphasizes tactical discipline, which is of little significance. He can only change the passive situation through substitutions, such as Lewandowski's appearance or the adjustment of his position.

Second half: Ups and downs

Returned in the second half, Rafinia and Yamal were knocked down continuously, but the referee had no expression. In the 54th minute, Barcelona's continuous offensive in the frontcourt, Gerard Martin made a cross, and Eric Garcia, who inserted it, scored a goal, 2:1! Just two minutes later, Barcelona counterattacked three-for-two, and Eric Garcia shot from close range, but was magically saved by the goalkeeper! In the 60th minute, Barcelona attacked again, Gerard Martin passed to the back point, and Ormo headed the ball, 2:2! The two teams returned to the same starting line. In the 68th minute, Barcelona's continuous impact made Inter Milan exhausted. Yamal won a free kick from the penalty area line. After several consecutive kicks, De Jong's penalty area was refracted and rubbed against the post. Faced with a passive situation, Xiao Inzaji made continuous substitution adjustments. After 80 minutes, the physical fitness of the two teams had a significant decline. In the 87th minute, Barcelona successfully made another steal in the frontcourt. Rafinia's powerful shot was saved by the goalkeeper, and he followed up and shot straight into the dead corner to score, 2:3! Barcelona completes the overtake! In

stoppage time, Yamal shot a long shot and hit the post and bounced out. In the third minute of stoppage time, Inter Milan counterattacked and Archerby scored a wonderful equalizer, 3:3! Both teams had to enter overtime.

Overtime starts, Inter Milan takes the initiative to attack, and Barcelona is instantly in a passive position. In the 99th minute, several consecutive passes in the penalty area, Flatesi pushes the ball to score in the far corner, 4:3! Bullying Barcelona into a desperate situation again. In the 106th minute, Yamal made a cross and Lewandowski headed over the crossbar. Yamal's continuous high-quality shots in the penalty area were resolved by goalkeeper Sommer again and again.

Summary after the match

First of all, I would like to congratulate Inter Milan on winning this difficult showdown. The team's veterans united, from leading to overtaking, then to equalization, and finally won a series of ups and downs, which is destined to become an epic showdown in Inter Milan and even the history of the Champions League.

Secondly, for Barcelona, ​​the team has tried their best. Faced with the absence of many main players, and the intensive schedule, the team lost the game but won everyone's applause. Although Inzaghi emphasized before the game, Yamal's performance in the game is still the most troublesome difficulty for Inter Milan.

Yamar has broken through his opponent's defense several times with his outstanding personal ability, but he has never penetrated Sommer's ten fingers. The team's future is bright. After all, young players such as Yamal, Kubasi, and Ormo have become remarkable first-tier stars.
