A huge tie, with 13 goals, held the worst possible result for Spanish football, who lost in San Siro his last representative in the Champions League at a step from the final. Barça did the most difficult, overcome the two goals from the … The first half of Inter, but Acerbi’s goal sent the game to the extension, and there the smartest was Frattesi. The last twenty minutes were a constant siege of the Catalans led by Lamine Yamal, who did everything well in the game, but which ran into an excellent Yann Sommer.
This is one by one of Inter-Barça:
Sticks
Central with instinct of hound. He cut, he covered, he sent. He resisted in the mud. He closed his area with authority and anticipated when he needed.
Lamine Yamal
Genius soul. Alone, harassed, fought to the sigh throwing the team behind. It doesn’t matter if three or four defenses watch him, but he lacked the goal.
Dumfries
Vertical, fast, although little fine with the ball. He contributed push, although without clarity despite which Gerard gave him facilities.
Eric García
From hero to villain. It marked 2-1 in an extraordinary volley to, then fail the possible 2-2 only against Sommer.
Dimarco
He gave Lamine a low blow course. The art of making the timely foul. It rose little, but defended aggressively.
Gerard Martín
It seemed that the game was passing over, especially in defense, when it broke out with two high level assists.
Lautaro
Half a lame is still a danger. He scored and took the penalty from Cubarsí. It appeared where it hurts until the physicist said enough.
Dani Olmo
Nervous and scattered at the beginning. He lost the ball that ended in the first goal. In the second half it was amended in attack.
Thuram
He did the dirty work. He worked tirelessly. He did not shine with a ball, but generated spaces and discomfort without noticing the brutal wear.
Raphinha
missing, participating little, without a spark, without success … but with the capacity to appear at the most appropriate time.
Frattese
Decisive in rooms against Bayern; also fundamental in the penultimate round. His goal in the extension is worth a final.
Pedri
His appearance in the second half was decisive to bring the duel to extra time. When he flows, Barça is something else.
Sommer
Decisive. He took three key hands and held the team when he suffered the most. The best of Inter by distance. Concentrate, cold and effective.
