FC Barcelona’s Champions League campaign ended in heartbreak after a dramatic 4-3 defeat to Inter Milan in a semifinal second leg that had everything: comebacks, late goals, and a stunning finish that left fans breathless
Barcelona, featuring Eric García at left back and Ferran Torres in attack, found themselves trailing by two at halftime after Lautaro Martínez scored early and Hakan Çalhanoglu converted a penalty for Inter. But the second half saw a fierce response: García and Dani Olmo scored within minutes to level the match, and Raphinha appeared to have sealed a famous win with a late strike in the 87th minute
Inter, however, refused to surrender. In stoppage time, veteran Francesco Acerbi smashed home an equalizer, sending the tie into extra time. There, Marcus Thuram set up Davide Frattesi, whose curling shot gave Inter the decisive goal. Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal was denied twice by Inter’s keeper Yann Sommer in the dying moments, sealing Barça’s fate
The 7-6 aggregate loss means Barcelona’s treble hopes are over, and attention now shifts back to LaLiga, where they face a crucial showdown against their old rivals this weekend
Can Barcelona bounce back, or will this stunning defeat haunt their season?
