00:00Tonight, and for Barcelona, they are unchanged from that game at the weekend, the win against
00:13Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey. Reunited with top scorer Letaro Martinez, both of those
00:18two hoping to do some damage against Barcelona.
00:20You can tell there's a superstar now in this town. I think there was a void left when Messi
00:24left. I'm not saying he's already made a replacement now on that level, but this kid
00:29is doing stuff at 17 we've never ever seen before.
00:31Good evening, everybody. So here we are, the semi-finals of the Champions League with two
00:36of Europe's iconic clubs head-to-head here in the hills of Barcelona. That's the scene
00:42they're going to walk out to. Lamin-Yemal is in the Barcelona lineup in the tunnel, tweaked
00:47the top of his leg when he slipped when shooting as part of the pre-match warm-up, but we think
00:53he's going to walk out with the team and take his place in the lineup tonight. The home team
00:58with the favourites, they won the Copa del Rey at the weekend to keep them on course for
01:02a treble, but the team tough Italians from Milan are here to slow them down in the first
01:07leg. Inter think they've got what it takes to be Champions League winners. It's a wonderful
01:13scene. It's Barcelona versus Inter Milan.
01:27It's not good.
01:31It's not good.
01:31And they're by Jules Koundé, they were almost caught cold as Denzel Dumfries went in.
01:59Oh what a flick, what a start, it's Marcus Turan, after 30 seconds, it's a quite outstanding finish, the celebrations from the Inter supporters, it's a dream start for them, and Turan who's been out injured, with a quite audacious goal.
02:19Absolutely no desire to do things quickly.
02:22They've got all three centre-backs up there for the corner, Bastoni, Acherbi and Bissek as well.
02:33And there's a chance, it's the second goal, and this time it's Denzel Dumfries with another brilliant finish.
02:44And Barcelona find themselves two down at home after 20 minutes, and there's quite a story developing here.
02:51I absolutely cannot wait to see this again.
02:56It's just a long ball, DeMarco's corner goes to a back post area, Inter Milan win the header, knocked into a dangerous area, but the finish is absolutely out of this world again.
03:08Oh, it's overhead kick, brilliant, it is absolutely top class, I think it's a Acherbi wins the header, it is a Acherbi wins the header, and look at that for a finish.
03:18I'll tell you what, Pedri's got to go in there and just get kicked, I think he's kind of jumped away from the ball, watch it here.
03:24He doesn't go to the ball, he jumps away from it, you've got to go there and just get your head kicked off a little bit there, you've got to take it, take one for the team.
03:31Do you know what happens there, Rio? You're absolutely spot on, because if he does...
03:36Running into Lamin, Yamal, but he's kept his composure, kept the ball, now he sets off and skips away from Mkhitaryan.
03:42Oh, that's brilliant! That is brilliant!
03:44This wonderful teenager with the shock of blood here, that just lit up this stadium, and dragged Barcelona back into the semi-final, with a mesmerising goal, dropping his shoulder and gliding through, and a finish that all Saba could do, was watch.
04:10Brilliant!
04:10Brilliant! Well, you're right, Koundé just...
04:14Absolutely skims DeMarco! Oh, he's hit the frame of the goal! He's hit the frame of the goal!
04:21That was unbelievable! DeMarco, DeMarco, and he got a ticket to get back in!
04:27That was, a skill there, that is absolutely fantastic! And it's a save!
04:33That's a hell of a save! That is a save!
04:34Nice, I'm sure. And what a save!
04:36This kid is taking the mick, he is taking liberties on the biggest stage there is!
04:43Wow!
04:46Tedri!
04:48Headed down by Rubenia! Equaliser!
04:51Jaram Torres!
04:52Applause from the manager, delirium from the supporters, and the man deputising for Robert Lewandowski delivers on a big, big night for Barcelona.
05:10Textbook goal.
05:12Just a ball from the middle of the park, into your back post area.
05:14Wins the header, the deep run, there it is, beautiful pass, look at the run, brilliant run from the goal scorer.
05:22It really is, he goes goal side of Acherby, that is a brilliant run.
05:28It's a great header into an area, Acherby takes his eye off it for a split second, and he goes in behind him.
05:34The movement's brilliant.
05:35I watched the warm-up Brio tonight, and they practiced that over and over again.
05:40They went in in twos, combinations like that in the penalty area.
05:44They do it.
05:49Another good ball in, it's another header, it's another goal!
05:52And it's another one for Denzil Dumfries, who's having the night of his lap.
05:57Position because there are Inter Milan supporters in there, with the Barcelona fans.
06:01Pulled back here to Lijamal, who lets it run.
06:03Oh, that's a great goal!
06:06It's Rafinha, with an absolute bullet!
06:16The Inter Milan lead is gone in the blink of an eye, and Rafinha rattles in an absolute beauty.
06:233-3!
06:24Well, we've just said, what are the one thing that Inter Milan have?
06:28It's their advantage in the air.
06:30So what do they not do?
06:31They don't put it under the box.
06:33They don't put it in the air.
06:36They don't put it under the bear.
06:37They don't put it under the bear.
06:39It's it's their advantage in the air!
06:41Yeah!
