Inter Hold Barcelona in UCL Semifinal First-Leg Thriller

Inter Milan, managed by Simone Inzaghi, secured a dramatic 3-3 draw against Barcelona in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal at Estadio Olimpico Lluis Companys — the Catalan club’s temporary home this season.

La Beneamata stunned the home crowd by taking 2-0 and 3-2 leads against a Barcelona side featuring Lamine Yamal. Despite being the underdogs, Inter earned a valuable away point — a feat rarely achieved by visiting teams at this level.

This result is even more meaningful considering that three weeks ago, Simone Inzaghi raised three fingers during a press conference when asked about his team’s goals this season — a gesture that now seems increasingly justified.
