Barcelona entertained Inter Milan at the Nou Camp earlier tonight as they looked to secure a good result at home in the UEFA Champions League. The Catalan giants made a good start to the game and managed to score the opener in the 40th minute courtesy of Ousmane Dembele’s finish from close range. Barca were leading 1-0 at the half-time break.
Xavi’s side made a poor start to the second half as they conceded the equaliser in the 50th minute when Nicolo Barella found the back of the net. Lautaro Martinez made life even more difficult for Barca when he scored just after the hour mark. However, Robert Lewandowski managed to equalise for the Catalan club in the 82nd minute.
Robin Gosens thought he scored the winning goal in the 89th minute which was once again canceled out by Lewandowski in injury time. The contest ended with Barcelona being held to a disappointing 3-3 draw at the Nou Camp.
Let’s find out how each Barcelona player performed during the match against Inter Milan.
