00:00Good evening from the Olympic Stadium on Montjuic, high above the city of Barcelona on a lovely warm Catalan evening after a sun-drenched day.

00:1225 goals have been scored here in six Champions League games this season.

00:16It's been a joyous place to be and this looks like a classic semi-final first leg, even though the likes of Robert Lewandowski won't be playing.

00:23Barcelona in their first semi since 2019. They're all about youth and freedom and scoring for fun.

00:28Eight of their team, 25 or under. They've netted 155 goals this season. They've won 23 of their last 28 games.

00:34That in the Spanish Cup and a stormy final against Real Madrid at the weekend. We'll let it weaken them for tonight.

00:44Won three away games in the Champions League in a row for the first time. Five of their last seven Champions League.

00:50Knockout stage away games have been won. Now Wiley, Inter Milan, don't rule them out.

00:58It goes to the front two who will cause problems. Turam fit again by Barella.

01:07This is their first attack with Dumfries who would love to get forward of course.

01:10Now it goes by the dependable Jules Koundé who's started every Champions League game this season for Barcelona.

01:16Turam with the flick. Inter have scored in 30 seconds. What a start for the Italian side. Absolutely sensational.

01:25Well, if you said before the game, how would they build an attack? You just saw it there. Ball goes into Martinez.

01:34He flicks it on to Turam. Back to Barella. Out to the wing-back who's breaking forward down that right-hand side.

01:40Yes, they get rid of the first cross. But when it comes back in, it's a lovely flick from that man there, Turam.

01:46And he's been in great form at times this season.

01:49Here's Jamal to take on Di Marco. It's come all the way through.

01:54And wide it goes. And it was a chance for Ferran Torres.

01:57Doesn't always have to beat a player to get a really telling pass or ball into the box.

02:02Chiesa didn't quite get his touch right, did he?

02:04And you can see a chirpy goes to ground. And maybe it's slightly more difficult for Ferran Torres.

02:09But had his touch been better, I think he'd have scored there.

02:14Another corner for Barcelona. They're third. As they trail.

02:17Bissek away.

02:20Oh, just wide. It's a whiplash effort from Ferran Torres.

02:24Let me see it again.

02:25I wonder if he just slices across it here, which takes it wide of the far post.

02:29Great angle. We'll get there. Yeah, just slices across it.

02:33Oh, such a good strike.

02:35Of course, Petri to stretch. Now here's Di Marco. Chasing.

02:39And terrific covering across by Inigo Martínez.

02:42What have you made of his season? It's remarkable, isn't it?

02:45Absolutely.

02:48A bit away from his man.

02:50It's two down. It's a brilliant effort again.

02:53And this time, it comes from the full-back, Denzil Dumfries.

02:57Who hooked it on as Barcelona stood, hesitated and watched.

03:02And they're two behind. What a start for Inter.

03:06Here it is.

03:07Acervi wins the first one.

03:11Dumfries is alive to the second.

03:13Just makes a run into the box.

03:15Also very good technique.

03:18Pedri was the player that maybe took his head out of the way.

03:22That's been a bit unfair on him.

03:24Could he have been braver there?

03:25Maybe so.

03:26And Dumfries with a very good finish.

03:28Jamal wriggling his way through.

03:37Oh, it's simply sensational.

03:39When he was a doubt before kick-off, having picked up what clearly was an injury in the warm-up.

03:44He shrugged it off and that's what he can do.

03:46What a game you have here for you.

03:47Barcelona 1, Inter Milan 2.

03:49Just watch the skill here to go past Mkhitaryan on the edge of the box.

03:54When he picks up the ball, there's so many players in front of him.

03:57There's a slight mix-up, as you mentioned, with Koundé.

04:00He turns the first challenge to him.

04:02He goes past Mkhitaryan too easily here.

04:04And he just picks his spot.

04:06Goes between the two defenders.

04:08You don't get any better than that.

04:10Jamal.

04:15Brilliant.

04:16Sensational.

04:18Off the bar.

04:19This is a wonderkid.

04:20Well, how did he drag that back onto his left foot?

04:23DiMarco shows him onto his right foot.

04:25He thinks he's going to cross it.

04:27Goes to ground.

04:28He's so unlucky.

04:29And actually, Sommer gets a touch on it.

04:31It's a great save from Sommer in the end.

04:34Here's Jamal.

04:35On the outside of DiMarco, who's facing a tough night now.

04:40Patting away.

04:41But Cervi got something on it.

04:43So she did Barella.

04:44And then, once again,

04:46Sommer all you was tidying up.

04:48He can go each way.

04:49Go either side, Conny's.

04:51Well, he can go each way.

04:52And he can also play the ball with the outside of his left foot.

04:55This time he plays it with the inside of his right.

04:57Sommer gets there before Rafinha,

04:58but again pushes it out into a dangerous area.

05:03Here's Torres on the outside of the defender.

05:08Jamal following him up.

05:10In comes the ball to Olmo.

05:12Sommer had to stretch.

05:14They're looking so dangerous now.

05:17Barcelona standing almost on the halfway line.

05:19That's the tackle that won the ball back.

05:21He ended up with this shot from Dani Olmo.

05:23Sommer again does well to save.

05:25Turkey with a chip in this.

05:30They're set up from Rafinha.

05:31It's a brilliant goal.

05:332-2, Ferran Torres.

05:34The first was a magnificent solo effort.

05:37The second is a brilliant team goal.

05:39Barcelona 2.

05:40Inter 2.

05:41It's a classic.

05:42Rafinha just pulls off the back of Bissek.

05:44The run there to Ferran Torres.

05:46The header could not have been any better.

05:49And Ferran Torres couldn't really miss, could he?

05:51What a first half we've had here.

05:58Now two, Dumfries.

06:00The run off to me is by Bissek.

06:02It's a dangerous ball and it's gone all the way through to Di Marco.

06:08There it is.

06:09There's the danger.

06:10The timings of the run were good.

06:12He just stays onside.

06:13Bissek plays it into a good area.

06:15You see the other two players are behind the ball.

06:17And on his weaker foot.

06:19Big chance.

06:22It's just enough there to stop him getting through Inter.

06:26And that's knocked forward.

06:28And Dumfries has made the run up in support.

06:30And a big deflection carried it wide.

06:32And they think it came off an arm again.

06:37It certainly wasn't his arm.

06:39It was his leg, wasn't it?

06:40And here's where they wanted the handball.

06:41And that probably was handball.

06:43The AR couldn't look at it because it was outside the box.

06:46Charoliu with the corner kick.

06:52Goal the way.

06:53Keeper Kane didn't get there.

06:54Dumfries.

06:55Inter lead again.

06:58And he has to.

06:59This mighty game swings and swings again.

07:07They've scored from three of their four efforts on target.

07:11Well, it's a good delivery.

07:12They go to the back post.

07:14Dumfries.

07:15Good athlete.

07:17It's a good run on it.

07:19And then beats Omo in the air.

07:22It's a good early jump.

07:24Maybe hits El Ruho on the back as well.

07:27Then he almost trying to get round.

07:29There it hits.

07:31El Ruho on the shoulder and into the back of the net.

07:33But it will be Dumfries' goal.

07:36Great determination.

07:37And they've been much better going forward in the second half.

07:40What a game again.

07:43It's been super for them.

07:44How can he get back?

07:46Gather his ground.

07:47Running against Rafinha.

07:51Showing his other quality there.

07:53Saw the opportunity for Barcelona to play the one-two.

07:57Got himself back into a good position.

08:02Omo will take it.

08:04Jamal steps over it.

08:06It's a great hit.

08:06What a goal that is.

08:07Rafinha.

08:10It's a game that simply keeps giving.

08:143-3.

08:16Stupendous.

08:18Well, they did go short.

08:20To the edge of the box.

08:23And it's still got to be a terrific shot to beat the goalkeeper from there.

08:29And he produces again Rafinha.

08:32There it is.

08:33A little over.

08:34What is he?

08:3430 yards out.

08:36Hits it with power.

08:37Great accuracy.

08:38I thought it was Koubasi.

08:45And he is Chirame anyway.

08:46This is a powerful run.

08:48Can he do it again?

08:49It's a good block by Koubasi.

08:52Inter get it absolutely right with the ball through.

08:54Chirame timed his run.

08:58Chirame holds it up.

08:59There's a quick release on there to Chirame.

09:01Danfriis wants it played forward.

09:02Might get it here now from Bissek.

09:04It's a great pace on the pass.

09:06It's a lovely crossing.

09:07Inviting.

09:08They're in again here.

09:09They've scored again here.

09:11Oh, the flag is up.

09:12It won't count.

09:13And Henrik Mkhitaryan saw glory in front of his eyes there.

09:18Well, at the moment, it won't count.

09:20The Inter players seem fairly sure that he wasn't offside here.

09:24It's close.

09:25It's going to be close.

09:26It's a great ball.

09:27He knows exactly how to break the line down this right-hand side.

09:31He's waving his finger.

09:32This is going to be tight.

09:34Really, really tight, I would say.

09:36This will go to Chirame Brissard, the VAR.

09:41Offside.

09:44The assistant referee was absolutely right, according to the VAR.

09:57Pedri, almost at walking pace.

09:58Jamal will accelerate from that sort of a position, though.

10:02Wends his way inside.

10:03Just a little tickle sent him down.

10:08And Vinlópez has stood to his left.

10:10I'm sure there'll be Rafinha from here.

10:13It is.

10:14It's under the wall.

10:15Some are ready.

10:17There he is again.

10:17Yeah, goes down the side wall.

10:19Pedri gets out of the way.

10:20But someone could see that coming.

10:21This is Sanchi.

10:25Ferran Torres can release Jamal.

10:28It was just behind him.

10:29Scoot to the bar.

10:30Hits the woodwork again.

10:32I think he was trying to find Rafinha.

10:33He fancied him to score there.

10:43Here's Rafinha.

10:43Might score here.

10:44And that's someone with a splendid save.

10:46To keep it at 3-3.

10:48Oh, from a slightly different angle.

10:50But it's very similar to the own goal.

10:52And Sommer is right above him.

10:54This time he gets a much better touch on it.

10:56For the goal, went through his fingertips.

10:58There, really good touch by the goalkeeper.

11:01Ben Antorres back to Jamal with those very quick feet.

11:05A combination of Bastogne and Augusto.

11:06Got it back to the goalkeeper.

11:07Some night here in Barcelona where it finishes 3-3.

11:15Wonderful night, Stuart.

11:17Brilliant.

11:18This is still very, very open.

11:20Barcelona 3 into 3.
