Inter Milan Stun Barcelona with 30-Second Opener in UCL Semi-Final
Inter Milan made a sensational start to the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg against Barcelona, taking the lead just 30 seconds into the match. Marcus Thuram, returning from injury, delivered a stunning backheel finish from a Denzel Dumfries cross, silencing the home crowd at the Estadi OlÃmpic LluÃs Companys in Montjuïc.
Barcelona, who fielded the same lineup that defeated Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final, were caught completely off guard by the Italian side’s lightning-fast opener. With Robert Lewandowski absent, Ferran Torres led the attack for Xavi Hernández’s side, but it was Inter's ruthlessness that defined the opening moments.
The match, officiated by Clément Turpin and supported by VAR official Jérôme Brisard, promises to be a thrilling contest as both European giants battle for a place in the final in Munich.
