🕹️ What’s the story?
After a dramatic 3-3 draw in the first leg, Inter Milan and Barcelona are set to battle it out in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final.

Simone Inzaghi’s Inter produced an electric performance at the Camp Nou, scoring three times but also leaking goals — including an own goal — that allowed Barça to stay in the tie. Marcus Thuram was clinical early on, while Denzel Dumfries shocked everyone with a brace.

Barcelona, under Hansi Flick, showed resilience but were troubled defensively. Raphinha continues to shine in Europe and will again be key if the Catalans want to reach another UCL final.
