The Inter wishing to be that of the Champions League to get a good result for the second leg. Barça, to win in Montjuïc and also in Milan. That was the mentality of the two teams. Do not go to tow or there, I also want Inzaghi and Flick.
In this first duel, at the outset, the most remarkable in the eleven visitor was the return of Thuram and Dumfries. Well, one and the other got something unpredictable, scoring the striker a goal without reaching the first minute of the game and signing a spectacular scissors, jumping sideways, the side. Two goals down but almost seventy minutes to play.
In the Flick team there are players with great personality and in this delicate moment, they offered to get Barça out of the problem. With Pedri and Jong activating the acceleration of the ball and maintaining the high pressure, the Blaugrana team took off.
And he did it with the stubborn Lamine Yamal to put the 1-2 and to sign a first time total show. In one of the 'forty' attempts, Pedri focused the head of Raphinha and Ferran Torres also beat Sommer. I breathe in Montjuïc.
Flick's saving strategy
The psychological duel was associated, for Inter, in not complying with the draw. They saw defensive weaknesses in Barça and wanted to continue testing. This time against Eric García and Iñigo Martínez on the sides and Araujo with Cubarsí inside.
It seemed that the touch -ups and changes settled the Barca team behind but without giving up having the ball and continuing to attack the entire team. The third visiting blow was so unfair that the Blaugrana brand error seemed to logical: the concern were Acerbi, Bastoni and the Bisseck giant and, look where, again Dumfries found ball and goal for annoyance of our plants and Szczesny.
With 2-3 and tiredness in the legs, Hansi Flick's saving strategy for Sommer's disgust and interist advantage. Ball for Lamine, opens the legs and Raphinha, so yes, it puts the left -footed shot that the Swiss goal could not clear; On the contrary, he gave in the crossbar, bounced on his back and inside.
Barça showed that it has more football than Inter Milan but in the return you will have to defend better. Ah, and get ahead on the scoreboard to punish the hermetic Italian team.
Rhythm without comeback
Having to go behind the numerator does not help as much as marking the path of a tie. The key was to put the third and then punish the Italian team with more offensive possibilities.
Inter rarely came to Szczesny's domains but pulled too much rent. While Lamine kept dancing and breaking Di Marco, Raphinha couldn't apply her left -footed shot. In addition, Sommer avoided two notable actions of Dani Olmo and the draw continued to feed those of Inzaghi. Koundé (Eric García in their place) and Lautaro were injured in this first act but the clash film did not change their script: dominance and rhythm for a Barça that flew without being able to confirm the pleasant feeling of comeback. To changing rooms with Flick preparing a new defense because, without a doubt, the only suspense of the Blaugrana team was the punishment by side centers and the air game in the few corners that executed çalhanoglu. He had to continue believing.
