Barcelona, Inter Milan Draw Thrilling Champions League Semi-Final

FC Barcelona and Inter Milan played a thrilling 3-3 draw in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, leaving the tie wide open for the return match. The game was marked by dramatic shifts in momentum, with Inter taking an early lead before Barça's young star Lamine Yamal impressed with a solo goal that drew praise from both Manchester City striker Erling Haaland and Inter's coach, who called Yamal a 'phenomenon.' Despite Inter's recent struggles—having suffered three consecutive defeats and dropping out of contention for domestic trophies—the team remained resilient, with the Champions League as their last major objective this season. The draw at home is a familiar scenario for Barcelona, who have previously advanced in Europe after similar first-leg results, although they now face the challenge of having to win in Milan to secure a spot in the final due to the elimination of the away goals rule. Key injuries to players like Lautaro and Kounde could impact the squads in the crucial second leg. Both teams head into the next match with high stakes and significant pressure to perform.
