Lamine Yaml played a spectacular game.
Inter had an early lead but Barcelona was close behind. They began to dominate in the 90th minute and ended in a 3-3 draw. The crowds were hoping for a 7th goal in this first of two legs in their semifinal UEFA Champions League match.
Lamine Yami played extraordinarily. Onlookers and players from both sides were amazed at his play. They forgot that he was only 17 years old. If he keeps playing, he could become the first Under-21 winner of the Ballon d’Or.
Hansi Flick’s team often took an early lead during the season. Not tonight. Inter scored in just 30 seconds. This left Barcelona fans in shock and other wondering if they would be able to handle the challenge. Denzel Dumfries crossed the ball to Inter’s Marcus Thuram, who then flicked it past Wojciech Szczesny.
Inter had doubled its lead by the time they reached minute 20, with Dumfries scoring. Francesco Acerbi volleyed into the goal from close range after the Dutch wing back’s head hit a corner.
Inter increases its commitment by “20
Lamine Yamal was next, who almost did not start the match because he pulled up during the warm-up. However, the teenage sensation scored on a solo movement that stunned the defense.
Pedri then took over to help Barcelona come back 2-2. Raphinha is another Ballon d’Or contender for 2025. The Brazilian striker sprinted into the path Ferran Torres. He then gave it the finishing touch, from close range.
Barcelona seemed to be in control, but Dumfries’ second goal gave Inter the lead again. Dumfries scored his second goal after picking up a corner.
Raphinha’s powerful shot brings the score to 3-3
Inter’s excitement did not last more than two minutes. The home team came back to win 3-3 after Inter goalkeeper Yann Sonnen made a stunning flight to divert Raphinha’s shot that, to his regret, bounced of the parallel pole. It hit him in the rear and entered the scoring area.
The game was exciting to the very end, as Barcelona put extreme pressure on their guests. This included an insane move in the goal area and a shot by Lamine which seemed to go nowhere but ended hitting the goalie’s corner.
Next Tuesday, the two teams will once again meet in San Siro to determine a winner.
