Barcelona will be disappointed to have drawn 3-3 with Inter in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie, but it could have been a lot worse considering that they were 2-0 down after 21 minutes at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
Goals from Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres and Yann Sommer (OG) ensured that Barcelona only need to win at the San Siro next week to book their place in the Champions League final. As per Diario AS, head coach Hansi Flick gave his assessment of the 90 minutes, during which he admitted that his side did not have best opening to proceedings.
“I think we did not start well. We conceded two goals, but then we got back into the game. The second half was spectacular. There’s a second game left and we have to win. It’s a final, before the final. They have great experience and they have shown it. They played very well from set pieces. And they took advantage of this.”
Lamine Yamal produced an incredible performance in Montjuic, and in Flick’s eyes, he was the key to Barcelona’s comeback against Inter.
“He has shown up. He opened the way for us, the goal at 2-1 was important. I’m happy with the team, we’ve done a great job.”
In the last couple of weeks, Barcelona have lost Alejandro Balde and Robert Lewandowski to injury, and their woes continued against Inter as Jules Kounde was forced off in the first half with a muscle problem. Flick admitted that he does not know how serious it is.
“No, we have to wait until tomorrow.”
Barcelona will believe that they can go to Milan next week and get the win they need to reach the Champions League final, but without Kounde, it is certainly be more difficult.

The alternate could be Fort but I still think Flick has a reason for picking Martin despite Fort showing a solid performance in La Liga We've trusted him till now, let's see where this goes
True hector can be placed and trusted for the task but who have better understanding of those players? Flick makes decisions based on what he sees.

Jealous down guys Yamal is a star. His skills are too much, very talented that young boy. Without injuries I can see him as the owner of the balon d or(sp) for the next ten years. So far he is the only one who can reach and surpass Messi and Ronaldo levels and achievements, watch the space.

Then who was supposed to be the left back then? If you don’t give the players opportunity to improve how will they improve? Keep in mind Balde is injured so who should cover his position?

Balde was injured, and Martin was the back up, so didn't blame the coach it's the game. Remember our coach is good,mark my words come Tuesday we shall celebrate.

How market? This one was not one way as expected. But this is not writing off Barcelona. Though I think Arsenal is out. I listened to a British pundit who believes that every year a pope dies, a British team wins the UCL. We are expecting Arsenal to resurrect from the dead
