when everything was lost, Barcelona reacted again, and often scenario and often: the semifinals of the Champions League. This time it seemed that Flick’s team had reached the limit, 2-0 at rest and bad sensations, after granting too much. He had fit five goals in this tie, and of course the goals are usually a consequence of failures, but this time you do not have to search them much to find them: a goal at 20 seconds and two of corner in the first leg; And one, from Lautaro, after an elmo loss in danger zone and another penalty of çalhanoglu just before the rest in the return. Too many concessions, impossible to recover, perhaps, despite having an inspired Lamine Yamal, but that word, this season, does not exist in the Flick team. The Inter was still kept, which managed to endure the football shower that fell in the second part to give another turn to the encounter and get into the Champions League final. Barcelona’s dream was perhaps broke due to lack of maturity or because in the madness he usually proposes and from which he almost always comes victorious, this time he had to smell his knee. The defense concessions were too many and the Barca found their limit.
With that 2-0 he appeared in the second part without changes. And he was recovering the faith little by little after still starting with doubts. There was some action in which Pedri had to run for him and Jong, and then he was recriminated to the Dutch. The forces seemed that they did not arrive for more, but the goals not only serve for the scoreboard, they serve to give moral, which shows that the head sends on the feet. Eric García took the center of Gerard Martín to the network. From side to side, two players who in principle were not going to be headlines, but Koundé and Balde were injured.
That goal changed everything. Barcelona had not had any clarity and suddenly began to submit to the Italians. It was only played in one direction when Pedri became the owner of the pass and lamine of the dribble. The game, after what was seen in Montjuïc, revolved around a 17 -year -old kid, to which Dimarco watched close. The Spanish ended by the soils in the first ball that came to him. The lanes marked territory and Lamine’s response was to show her the brackets. He did not stop overflowing rivals, to generate panic.
After the first goal the second arrived, with the same assistant, Gerard Martín, and the auction, this time from Dani Olmo, who compensated his mistake in the first little goal. If the goals give energy to the team that marks them, it is subtracted from the one who receives them, and the Inter, a solid set, the best defense, with a lethal and imperial cane, disappeared. The only but that can be put to the Barca team, beyond the first part, was not to finish off in those moments when it was much superior. It could be in a penalty that the VAR took from the area or in another pair of actions. The goal arrived at Raphinha’s feet, the one that was missing, the one that was more off, after a great Pedri pass.
Lamine crashed into the stick shortly after, when the Spaniards already counted the seconds back. There were very few left, but enough for Inter to come back to the meeting. At times it was a dead team, the entry of Fratesssi and Zielinski resuscitated him, gave him strength, and Acerbi’s goal revived a tie that had to have been sentenced before.
Young Barcelona is still missing to manage in situations like this, or perhaps Hansi Flick’s team is like that, for better and for worse. The Spanish team came with the impulse of the comeback and the Italian, with that of being present when it seemed sunk. The extension has already left an even duel, with the domain of the Catalans, but already more tired and more exposed to the long balls. Thuram won them all. He was very fatigued, but he continued to do it, and in one of them, he was chaining Barça bad decisions in defense until Fratessi resolved great.
Barcelona had time left, but this time he was too hurry and a lot of exhaustion. Pedri could not finish, Gerard stretched. Inter. Sommer resisted Lamine’s shot that looked like the nth miracle.
