I loved the all-out attacking from both teams and a great game for the neutral but... why did Barca bring on Lewandowski in the last few minutes? I get it was a straight striker-for-striker swap and I'm not a fan of parking the bus but when you've only been ahead for a few minutes over both legs and there is just a few minutes to go, that's the time to shut up shop and see the game out and you're in the final.
Maybe they thought it was a case of 'attacking is the best form of defence' but when you've already shipped that many goals over two games, maybe just tighten it up.

It was like they were wearing camouflage. I swear it fecked them a bit. Thought Inzaghi had shot the bolt with all those subs but they pulled it off. All out attack doesn't always work, does it.
Yeah crap kit (I mean if you play a sport on a green surface, why would you wear a green kit?) but Barcelona only have themselves to blame. Injury time at the end of the 90 minutes, you're virtually in the final, just keep the ball! But Yamal has a shot, hits the post, Inter go up the other end and equalise.
Bonkers game, great entertainment. I'm not expecting the same tonight nor am I expecting Arsenal to win. That being the case, I'll be backing Inter in the final.
I was really pleased for Acerbi. A centre-back that high up the pitch, at his age, in added time, never scored a CL goal in his career and his scores an equaliser with what is actually a technically difficult shot. Amazing stuff.

What I loved was no goalkeepers pretending to be dead, no real time wasting just get on with the game let the best team win. Was a brilliant watch
Grudging credit to VAR, both reversed penalty calls were correct. While they were very close, they would have hugely affected the result. I was afraid they would reverse Inter’s third too, but credit the referee and VAR for not buying the flop. Barcelona took it surprisingly meekly, suggesting they knew it was fake too.

We're so used to seeing that feint as a seemingly pointless bit of hesitation and then it thuds into 3 defenders.
That was how it's done, and a good clamber onto the big gate afterwards.
Oh, and Thuram always seems dreadful as a striker to me, whenever I see him play. But he did have some great hold up play especially which led to the winner.
I know that there’s a massive amount of hype about him anyway but I hadn’t really seen Yamal play since last summer’s Euros and last night reminded me of what a phenomenal player he is. I know he didn’t score last night but he posed nearly all of Barcas attacking threat and they seemed very reliant on him to create things. The way he ghosted past the defenders even when there were two or three of them on him was amazing to see.

I feel at 17 that Yamal probably needs a year on loan to a club like us so that he could become a slightly older average player.

They used VAR well last night no long delays, it should still get in the bin though as last night was not the norm for that nonsence

He could go on to be better than Messi, he is so good and exciting to watch, reminds me of ROnaldinhio, just can't wait to see what he does when he's on the ball

They didn't have any more defenders on the bench tbf
Shit but local
