The Champions League semifinal first leg between Barcelona and Inter Milan turned into an unforgettable night of football, with both teams scoring wonder goals in a thrilling 3-3 draw at Camp Nou.
Inter Start with Magic as Thuram and Dumfries Shine
The game exploded into life just a minute after kickoff. Inter’s Marcus Thuram opened the scoring with a moment of brilliance — he received a pass, flicked it with his backfoot into the net, all while facing away from the goal. It was an instinctive and stylish finish that silenced the Barcelona crowd.
Denzel Dumfries made it 2-0 in the 21st minute with a spectacular acrobatic goal, almost resembling a bicycle kick. It was his first of the night, and it underlined Inter’s early dominance.
Barcelona Answer with Style
Barcelona refused to back down. In the 24th minute, young star Lamine Yamal fired in a beautiful goal from the edge of the box, putting the home side on the scoreboard.
Then in the 38th minute, Ferran Torres brought the game level with a well-placed finish after a flowing team move — and just like that, it was 2-2 at halftime.
Dumfries Scores Again Before Sommer Own Goal
In the second half, Dumfries scored his second with another sharp finish, making it 3-2 for Inter in the 64th minute.
But Inter’s lead didn’t last long. Just two minutes later, a powerful strike from Raphinha outside the box deflected off Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer and went in — an unfortunate own goal, but a thunderous hit that left no room for recovery.
Second Leg Set for San Siro Showdown
Despite chances for both teams in the final minutes, the score remained 3-3. The second leg will be played on May 6 at San Siro, Inter’s home ground. With both teams level, everything is to play for in what promises to be another epic night of football.
