This is the INTERViews podcast, the official SempreInter.com podcast, discussing all things Nerazzurri, today focusing on Inter Milan 4-3 Barcelona leg 2 semifinal Champions League clash.

Firstly, in today’s episode on SempreInter.com, Gianmarco and Alessandro discuss, analyze and debate all aspects of the 4-3 win.

Inter fielded their strongest lineup. Therefore, Lautaro Martinez and Nicolo Barella both started. Everyone expected Barcelona to start on the front foot. That is, putting pressure on Inter.

Therefore, it was impressive when Lautaro Martinez broke the deadlock after 21 minutes. Dimarco won the ball high up really well. The assist by Denzel Dumfries was smart.

Lautaro won a penalty for Inter just before the end of the first half. Cubarsi didn’t get the ball but only Lautaro. Hakan Calhanoglu doubled the lead from the spot. The half ended 2-0.

However, Inter continued to defend in the second half. They just didn’t do it too well. They defended way too deep. Allowing Barcelona to dominate inside Inter’s box.

This is how Eric Garcia and Dani Olmo halved and equalized within six minutes, from 54th minute to the 60th minute.

Barcelona continued to create chances and dominate possession. Inter looked exhausted.

Subsequently, Raphinha gave Barcelona the lead for the first time in the tie in the 87th minute. Inter looked dead and buried.

However, then Francesco Acerbi stepped up. The Italian veteran defender latched on to a Denzel Dumfries cross and smashed it into the roof of the net in the 93rd minute.

The match ends 3-3 after 90 minutes. For the second week in a row. The match goes into extra time.
