Barcelona, Inter Milan draw 3-3 in Champions League thriller

Barcelona and Inter Milan played to a dramatic 3-3 draw in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal, with both teams exchanging leads in a match full of attacking brilliance and memorable moments. Inter struck early, with Marcus Thuram scoring the fastest goal in Champions League semifinal history, followed by Denzel Dumfries doubling their lead. However, 17-year-old Lamine Yamal stole the spotlight, marking his 100th Barcelona appearance with a stunning solo goal that energized his team and helped spark their comeback. Barcelona equalized twice, with Ferran Torres adding to the tally, but could not secure a win despite Yamal’s continued influence and near-misses. The result leaves Inter with a slight advantage ahead of a highly anticipated second leg, as both teams remain in pursuit of European glory and critical silverware this season. The match was widely hailed as a Champions League classic, with Yamal’s performance drawing comparisons to Lionel Messi for his technical brilliance and composure.
