That's all from tonight's live blog. Thanks for tuning in and being part of the drama with us.
FULL TIME! Barcelona 3-3 Inter
What a game that was! A real contender for one of the best this season and leaves it all to do for both teams in next week's return leg at San Siro.
Three minutes of added time at the end of this half. It really has been a game that you never want to end
CHANCE!
That's an incredible effort from Yamal as he sends a lofted ball goalward which comes back off the bar
Real fine margins stuff in that Mkhitaryan disallowed goal
This was how close Inter Milan came to going 4-3 up! 😮 Henrikh Mkhitaryan was narrowly offside. #UCL–
NO GOAL!
Inter thought they had a fourth of the night through Mkhitaryan but the flag is immediately up and a VAR review confirms the original decision stands.
Anyone who's not been watching this game so far has missed a real treat.
Looks like that one will go down as a Sommer own goal as it hits the goalkeeper's back after rattling off the crossbar. Still, they all count!
GOAL! Barcelona 3-3 Inter
Raphinha levels again for the hosts with a sublime strike after Yamal teed him up with a dummy on the edge of the box.
GOAL! Barcelona 2-3 Inter
The visitors have done it again! Dumfries rises to power home from Çalhanoğlu's free kick on the far righthand side
CHANCE!
Dimarco has a brilliant opening after the ball breaks for him on the half-volley but sends it wide of Szczęsny's righthand post
There's changes for both sides at the start of this half with Araújo replacing Martín while Lautaro makes way for Taremi
KICK OFF!
We're back underway in Barcelona. Will we see another pulsating 45 minutes?
The eyes of Europe are on this game and it appears Yamal has another admirer
HALF TIME! Barcelona 2-2 Inter
Well, what a first half that was! On the balance of play, Barcelona look the more dominant but Inter have really punished them on the breakaways. Big 45 minutes up ahead and hopefully more entertainment to come with it.
Another two minutes before the interval. Feels like there should be more purely so this half doesn't end.
Inter also facing their own injury concerns as Lautaro is now visibly struggling despite coming back on after treatment
Now this could make things interesting. Koundé is limping off with an injury and is replaced by García. The defender is so integral to the hosts' solidity, not to mention the match winner in last weekend's Copa del Rey final, and he'll definitely be a big miss
This might actually be a contender for the best first half we've seen in this season from any competition, forget about just the Champions League. Simply incredible.
GOAL! Barcelona 2-2 Inter
The comeback is complete! Torres sends the Olympic Stadium into rapture with a well-timed run to meet Raphinha's knockdown header in the middle of the area
CHANCE!
Olmo tests Sommer again with a shot on the edge of the box after a good break by Torres
Turns out this kid really *is* special
CHANCE!
Olmo receives a pass from De Jong and recovers well under pressure from several Inter players before forcing Sommer into a good stop.
OFF THE BAR!
Yamal isn't finished with the Nerazzurri defence as he toys with Dimarco before unleashing a shot which crashes back off the upright.
GOAL! Barcelona 1-2 Inter
And just like that, the Blaugrana respond with another banger! Yamal produces a Messi-esque dribble and finish. We really have been spoilt for incredible goals tonight.
GOAL! Barcelona 0-2 Inter
Unbelievably, Inter are two goals to the good from another sublime effort! This time it's Dumfries who produces the goods with an overhead kick. What a night this is turning into for Simone Inzaghi's side!
CHANCE!
Barcelona have been building momentum since Inter's quickfire opener and Torres finally gets a shot on after Bisseck half-clears a corner but his effort flashes across the face of goal.
GOAL! Barcelona 0-1 Inter
What a goal that is from Thuram for the visitors! The forward deftly flicks a cross from Dumfries into the net
KICK OFF!
We're underway at the Olympic Stadium and Yamal does indeed start.
An early development in Montjuïc as Lamine Yamal left the hosts' warm-up session with a suspected injury problem. That threatens to be a huge blow for Hansi Flick's side in this last-four encounter.
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg. It's another big one in prospect tonight with Barcelona and Inter doing battle.
