UCL Thriller: Barcelona, Inter Milan Serve Six-Goal Spectacle in Semi-Final First Leg
It was a night of twists, turns, and top-tier football as Barcelona and Inter Milan played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final at the Camp Nou on Wednesday.
Inter Milan came out firing, with Marcus Thuram stunning the crowd by finding the back of the net within 30 seconds. The Serie A giants doubled their lead soon after, courtesy of a breathtaking overhead kick from Denzel Dumfries, leaving Barça shell-shocked.
But the Catalans clawed their way back—Lamine Yamal, the 16-year-old sensation, delivered a composed finish, reigniting belief. Ferran Torres then made it 2-2, dancing through Inter's defence with a perfectly timed run before halftime.
The drama didn’t stop there. Dumfries grabbed his brace with a powerful header from a corner, only for Raphinha to unleash a thunderous long-range strike that took a wicked deflection off Yann Sommer, leveling the score again.
Opinion: Fireworks in Spain, War Awaits in San Siro
This wasn’t just a match; it was a statement from both sides. Inter showed early dominance and tactical sharpness, while Barcelona proved once again that their youthful energy and attacking flair can’t be counted out.
The return leg at the San Siro next Tuesday is now poised to be an epic decider. With both sides scoring freely, fans should expect nothing short of a classic European night under the Milan lights.
