@moo13 He made a lot of successful dribbles, had a lot of touches in the box, created chances and had some shots on goal, which counts for a lot of points. I still don't think he's anywhere near as good as Messi, like some idiotic fanboys would have you believe. The hype is ridiculous. If he was 26 and playing like that, nobody would care too much about him, but he's 17, so apparently that means he's out of this world. He would be doing well to be even considered as good as Neymar, nevermind Messi.
@ moo13 is not too ridiculous… He was the best player on Barca side for 120+ min. Lot of dribles and create chances and was unlucky with the post…
It’s true that Sommer did key defenses but suffered 3 goals.
Is better for you accept and open your eyes.
@moo13 Yet another bias towards some player who is nowhere near as good as he is made out to be, like we had with CR7, Salah, Mbappe and so on. The narrative doesn't change, only the player who benefits from it changes.
@Sputnik Messi/CR7 or anyone else of the same age would not have the capacity to handle the responsibility of taking the team forward. We are facing a phenomenon that could surpass some famous names in history. Of course it's very early but the boy shows a lot of maturity on the field. For me the level of Yamal (17) is outragerous,! (best player in both games).
@papaitucano Erm, the best player in both games was Denzel Dumfries. Which is sad, considering 1) he is a defender and 2) he is a limited player in general.
Inter equalizer was out of nowhere. And it was Yamal shot on post few mins before this episode. Two "key points" that decided the further outcome in my opinion.
@Youzarix This is BS like in the other games too ! He usually runs with the ball towards an opponent, fakes a bit and then plays a pass or cross. Never, ever did he out dribble 14 opponents tonight.
I watched his last 5 games and he hardly ever gets by defenders of the opposite team, which is the definition of dribbling. But in the match centre they always credit him with an insane amount of successful 1vs1.
@Youzarix The best footballer right now is still Lionel Andres Messi Cuccittini. After the GOAT finishes his career, we can talk about someone else being the best. Probably not Lamal though.
@Youzarix I am just talking about the stats he gets here from whoscored, not about the quality of Yamal. Of course he is an outstandingly good footballer but when I watch games of him I often think, that he hardly dribbled in the match and then I look at the stats and see 10 dribbles. When did he do those ?
@agunchev or the Raphinina shit in the first leg that rebounded in off Sommer. Isn’t that an extraordinary piece of luck?
Barca were great going forward and Yamal was so dangerous, but the luck was on both sides. Also Martinez lucky not to get sent off for spitting on Acerbi?
@agunchev remember because of the Pope’s funeral I get panted on Sunday before the first leg. So Barca had more rest, which is crucial in modern football. Perhaps Barca were lucky too. Lucky with the off-side against Mikhytarian. Also that Sommer save on Yamal was a thing of beauty. You have to appreciate that. And the Frattesi goal too - the pause before shooting, the angle. It was a bit like that Messi goal vs Iran or Grosso vs Germany.
@agunchev and yet Barca we’re only in front for 5 minutes during the whole tie
Inzaghi and Inter deserve a lot of credit. Smallest budget in the quarter finals
Perhaps Barca should have paid €4m for Sommer 2 years ago. He is part of the team too
@agunchev Inter had 7 shots on goal of which 6 were extremely dangerous. Barcelona did more Barcelona stuff, like little turns and dribbles but Inter was super strong, especially physically, tactically extremely well organized and their counter attacks and passes were high quality.
They are not a team that you can outplay easily.
All controversy aside, this is what football is meant to be. Two teams bravely putting absolutely everything on the line both going forward and when defending. Whoever gets through to the final, this will be remembered as an all-time classic semi final
1st half Inter better. Lamine only Barca forward who doesn't suck so far. Shocked Gerard Martin is playing again. Why tf would you expect sth different this time.
@vvilde and got skinned by dumfries for like 4 goals. They always attacked on his side and probably let him take crosses bc his passing generally sucks
@vviIde Yamal is 17, Cubarsi is 18, Pedri is 22, Gerard Martin is 23 and Eric Garcia is 24 years old. The only one who I wouldn't put in the 'youngster' category is Ferran Torres, who is 25 and has experience playing for a winning club before.
@vvilde The others still don't have experience being regular starters for a winning club. Barcelona haven't been a winning club since Messi left. This team might become one, but they're still young and inexperienced.
Inter will not be able to replicate the lightning start they had last time. Barca will be waiting for that and will probably be more careful with their attacks. Inter will probably change their strategy a bit as well and go for a more possessive style, eating the clock and resulting in less goals. 1-1 seems very plausible and out of the three options draw seems like the best bet. Still, I don't see Inter winning a game like this in 90min, as Barca have the better strikers. X2
@Marbella Do you watch the games? Inter has looked toothless lately with the exception of last week where the blew a 2 goal lead. Lamine Yamal is going to put them to the SWORD!!!!
@MTM I hope Barca win but just saying it will not be easy.I will be there in the crowd on Sunday as i have been several times this season when i have time to travel up the coast.
@Marbella True that. But Inter last 6 matches has not been great.
Consided in all but one against verona.
W 3= Udenese by 3-1, Cagliari by 2-1, Verona by 1-0
D1= Bayern 2-2
L 2= AC MILAN by 3 goals, AS ROMA by 1 goal.
I belief Inter's inability to replicate the First leg win with Bayern at Barca will hurt them today.......and they wil concede.
I expect them(Inter) to hustle for an early goal, if not, they will defend.........low blocks, while hoping for a counterattack......but Inter will CONCEDE.......
Depends with official due to one team injury mimicking. If the referee is emotional then expect a hand of cards. Barcelona are more tough first half. If draw by first half inter win....
This is a tricky game careful y'all, Balde and Kounde out for Barcelona, Lewa is back but not as a starter, tough game but as a Barca fan imma go for total 2 over 1.5 at 1.75 odds, visca Barca
thanks to VAR Inter won, they didnt even watch last goal foul
Lewandowski and Araujo were subbed on and Inter suddenly turned the game around. Coincidence? I think not! :D
If Lamal really works hard he could one day be as good as the Dokus and Sakas of this world. I mean that sincerely. He is really good.
Yamal MOTM?! He literally did not do anything crucial in the game...ridiculous...SMH...
@moo13 He made a lot of successful dribbles, had a lot of touches in the box, created chances and had some shots on goal, which counts for a lot of points. I still don't think he's anywhere near as good as Messi, like some idiotic fanboys would have you believe. The hype is ridiculous.

He would be doing well to be even considered as good as Neymar, nevermind Messi.
@moo13 you obviously watched/are talking about some other game
@ moo13 is not too ridiculous… He was the best player on Barca side for 120+ min. Lot of dribles and create chances and was unlucky with the post… It’s true that Sommer did key defenses but suffered 3 goals. Is better for you accept and open your eyes.
@papaitucano I didn't see any good dribbles, maybe 2 or 3 but never 14 as said in the stats.
@moo13 Yet another bias towards some player who is nowhere near as good as he is made out to be, like we had with CR7, Salah, Mbappe and so on. The narrative doesn't change, only the player who benefits from it changes.
@Sputnik you're clearly a real fan
@Easyanalyses If I were a Real Madrid fan, would I have included CR7 in the overrated players list? Think about it.
@Sputnik maybe you hate the truth
@Easyanalyses I actually love the truth, but "CR7 is on the same level as Messi" like the media has been pushing for years ain't one of them, bro.
@Sputnik I don't know man but if 5 balloon d'or means overrated....
@Sputnik Yamal is easily the greatest 17 year old in history. Only someone who hates football would deny it.
@agunchev The best 17 year old was Pele. Brazil became WC because of him.
@agunchev There is no such thing as a "best whatever years old in history". Every player is judged after he finishes his career.
@Sputnik Messi/CR7 or anyone else of the same age would not have the capacity to handle the responsibility of taking the team forward. We are facing a phenomenon that could surpass some famous names in history. Of course it's very early but the boy shows a lot of maturity on the field. For me the level of Yamal (17) is outragerous,! (best player in both games).
@papaitucano Erm, the best player in both games was Denzel Dumfries. Which is sad, considering 1) he is a defender and 2) he is a limited player in general.
@Sputnik The hate will ruin you health.
@agunchev On the contrary. Hate is great.
@Sputnik Hate will destroy you. You'll learn the hard way.
@agunchev So be it, Jedi.

@tar88s Inter were super lucky... again.
Congrats to PSG I guess
@alx30 Hahahahaha, you think Inter will let the CL slip through their fingers after a game like this one?!
14 dribbles by Lamine Yamal is crazy. Can someone confirm if this is the most dribbles completed by a single player in the Champions League?
@Youzarix Congratulations to him for winning the "most dribbles" trophy then!
@Youzarix This is BS like in the other games too ! He usually runs with the ball towards an opponent, fakes a bit and then plays a pass or cross. Never, ever did he out dribble 14 opponents tonight. I watched his last 5 games and he hardly ever gets by defenders of the opposite team, which is the definition of dribbling. But in the match centre they always credit him with an insane amount of successful 1vs1.
@neumi17 I agree that some dribbles shouldn't count, but you sound like a hater. I'm real madrid fan but this kid is the best footballer right now
@Youzarix The best footballer right now is still Lionel Andres Messi Cuccittini. After the GOAT finishes his career, we can talk about someone else being the best. Probably not Lamal though.
@Youzarix I am just talking about the stats he gets here from whoscored, not about the quality of Yamal.

Incredible game, love it!
@TetouanMorocco Thanks to Barca's open style of play.
Barca was the better team. Sommer saved Inter.

Another great game
@eastend1 Thanks to Barca - the most entertaining team in the world.
@agunchev Stop taking LSD, it makes you see things that aren't there.
Inter Baby! Barca going Home!
Incredible link up from Thuram to make the 4th goal
FOOTBALL - BLOODY HELL! ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?
What A Match!!!
All controversy aside, this is what football is meant to be. Two teams bravely putting absolutely everything on the line both going forward and when defending. Whoever gets through to the final, this will be remembered as an all-time classic semi final
How the hell was that not a card? Could've been a red
Barca is without any chance here, Inter is tactically and physically too good.
@neumi17 no such thing as "without any chance" in football
@vvilde Unless you are Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund or Atletico Madrid :D
1st half Inter better. Lamine only Barca forward who doesn't suck so far. Shocked Gerard Martin is playing again. Why tf would you expect sth different this time.
@alx30 meanwhile Gerard Martin: 2 assists
@vvilde and got skinned by dumfries for like 4 goals. They always attacked on his side and probably let him take crosses bc his passing generally sucks
Why no card for cubarsi?
Barcelona have too many youngsters in the team. Inter have more experience at this level and this will be the decider.
@Sputnik they have like 3 youngsters in the team atm, and that's if you include Pedri who's experienced for his age.
@vviIde Yamal is 17, Cubarsi is 18, Pedri is 22, Gerard Martin is 23 and Eric Garcia is 24 years old. The only one who I wouldn't put in the 'youngster' category is Ferran Torres, who is 25 and has experience playing for a winning club before.
@Sputnik yes, so Yamal, Cubarsi and Pedri are youngsters and the latter is pretty experienced.
@vvilde The others still don't have experience being regular starters for a winning club. Barcelona haven't been a winning club since Messi left. This team might become one, but they're still young and inexperienced.
@Sputnik however it was almost enough today. They had everything except luck and good refereeing
@vviIde There is no 'almost' in football. :)
0-0
2-1
INTER Sommer, Bastoni, Acerbi, Bisseck, Dimarco, Mkhitaryan, Calhanoglu, Barella, Dumfries, Thuram, Martinez
@Marbella SUBS Di Gennaro, Martinez, De Vrij, Zielinski, Arnautovic, Frattesi, Asllani, Augusto, Darmian, Re Cecconi, Zalewski, Taremi.
BARCA Szczesny, Martin, Martinez, Cubarsi, Garcia, Pedri, De Jong, Raphinha, Olmo, Yamal, Torres
@Marbella SUBS Pena, Astralaga, Araujo, Gavi, Lewandowski, Fati, Christensen, Lopez, Victor, Fort, Farre, Darvich.
Lewandowski starts on the bench.
Barcelona should start Garcia - LB, Martinez and Cubarsi CBs, Araujo - RB.
barca ov 1.5 goals

Barca will be hoping they pick up no injuries as they are at home to Real Madrid on sunday.
Inter have not lost in 15 consecutive home European games.
@Marbella unreal game i should've hit the cash out button in the ninety third minute
@Marbella Do you watch the games? Inter has looked toothless lately with the exception of last week where the blew a 2 goal lead. Lamine Yamal is going to put them to the SWORD!!!!

@Marbella I thought you were a Real Madrid fan.
Yamal Balon d'Or if Barca wins the double?
@Yassine_1 No.
2-0 barca win lewa and raphiniha goals
@Faded maybe now i am think 2-1 barca
Robert Lewandowski has been doing very well in training and could make the squad for this game.
@Marbella He has been named in the 23 man squad that flew to Milan today.
@Marbella not a starter tho
@BettingMadeSimple I think he will come on for the last 30 minutes if Barca are struggling.
Inter to reach the final.
draw
