barcelona had overall control of the match, but they only managed to draw the game because of the first 2 goals they conceded. i still like barcelona's chances on the road.
barcelona is a team that always wants to keep the ball at their feet and they were in inter's half with almost all their players throughout the match. but we saw in the goals that they have some problems in defense. maybe because the team is always trying to go forward, they have difficulties to stop inter's counterattacks with quick passes.

the first thing that stands out in the stats is of course the ball possession. those who watched the match can of course guess who was clearly ahead. barcelona had more than twice as much possession as inter.
same with the passing stats, barcelona yesterday went left and right around the inter defense looking for a gap. in the slightest gap, like lamine yamal's position, they managed to find the goal.
but we can say that inter scored a goal by exploiting a weakness of barcelona. they only used 2 corners and one of them led to dumfries' wonderful bicycle kick. barcelona also scored a planned goal from a corner, but if they don't solve their defensive problems, inter can score like that in the away match as well.
