Inter defense was not very solid in front of Barcelona because they were 3 goals down, Barcelona also failed to take full advantage of their chances including Raphinha shot which was saved and Yamal chip which hit the crossbar. Inter only relied on counter-attacks in this game, but their efforts were very effective and managed to trouble Szczesny.
Barcelona still has a chance in the second leg even though they failed to win the first leg, the final result depends on their performance when playing at Inter headquarters.
If Inter Milan defense had been solid like a bunker, they would have secured 2 goal advantage very well, and even made a collapse of Barcelona in Nou Camp. On the other hand, Barcelona have amazing players like Lamine Yamal and Raphinha who actually helped them having a comeback. With a new format of Champions League, there is no advantage from home-away goals so a second match in Milan will be decided by who is a winner in that match will be a final winner in an aggregated result.
Inter Milan can not move to final match with a draw result at their home stadium and this situation will make that match more exciting. I believe that through the first semi final, both Inter Milan and Barcelona already understood their opponents better and will play a second semi final match with more carefulness in their approaches.
The winner takes all... Both teams played very well. Everything is still open, and how nice to underline things that are so obvious but now everyone has forgotten. For Inter to win the Champions League, there must be an extraordinary combination of heart and luck. IMO
But Barca will be ready and Yamal is something else, taking on the Champions League at 17 and already a game-changer.
Barca is getting Lewa and Balde back, which will make all the difference. Get ready for a thrilling showdown. It's the final before the final...
The absence of Lewandowski in this match affected Barcelona a lot. Lewandowski can make an extra contribution to the team in the rematch with Inter. Also, young star Lamine Yamal is a player who gives everything for his team. Barcelona seems to have the advantage for the rematch. However, the match is in Italy and we all know how well Inter played in Italy. They want to go to the final with both teams and I am sure they will work very hard for him.
