Barcelona manager, Hansi Flick, has described the UCL semi final tie against Inter as “final before the final.”
Flick’s statement is coming as a reaction after his side finished 3-3 against Italian side, Inter, in the Uefa Champions League semi final first leg on Wednesday 30 April, 2025 at Estadi Olimpico in Spain.
Marcus Thuram and Dumfries placed Simone Inzaghi’s side two (2) goals in front before Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres netted for the hosts to level.
Dumfries put the Nerazzurri back ahead with the third, but, goalkeeper, Yann Sommer, found his own net to gift Barcelona the leveller.
Both sides will clash in Milan, Italy for the seond leg of their semi final tie next week Tuesday at 20:00 (WAT).
