End of ammunition and food? Lautaro Paval will miss the second round of the Champions League. There is no way to retreat, only a fight with his back

In the early morning of May 1, the first leg of the 2024/25 Champions League semi-finals continued. The Nerazzurri Inter draw with Barcelona 3-3 away. During the game, the older Inter Milan showed super tactical execution and tenacity, which made the La Liga leader feel strong pressure. However, the Blue and Black Legion also paid a considerable price for this.

Before this game, Inter Milan suffered three consecutive losses in various competitions and did not score one goal. Not only did they miss the Italian Cup final, but their Serie A ranking was also overtaken by Naples to drop to second place. With his tired body, Inter Milan went to Spain to challenge Barcelona, ​​which had just won the King's Cup championship, so naturally Inter Milan was not favored. However, just 30 seconds into the opening game, Dumfries assisted Turam Jr. to score on the heel, ushering in a fantastic start for Inter Milan. In the 21st minute, Archerby headed the ball, Dumfries volleyed from the side in front of the goal to score the ball, Inter Milan led 2-0 away.

Faced with the experienced Inter Milan, Barcelona fought with talent. In the 24th minute, Yamal dribbled the ball and forced a shot into the penalty area. 12 minutes later, Ferrantores scored a goal to tie the score. In the following time, Barcelona right-back Conde and Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez were injured one after another. After the change of sides, Dumfries scored twice in the header, while Barcelona created an own goalkeeper Sommer with Rafinia's far-reaching victory. In the end, this wonderful game ended with a 3-3 handshake between the two sides.

In this game, Inter Milan's possession rate was only 28%, but he scored 3 goals with 7 shots and 3 shots, with amazing offensive efficiency. Although Barcelona has an overwhelming advantage in ball possession, with as many as 19 shots, they also scored 3 goals in 9 shots. Of course, it is a bit regrettable for Yamal to hit the post twice, but luck is often part of his strength, and Inter Milan's good defensive system is not a vegetarian.

However, although he escaped away in the first leg, Inter Milan still faced a severe test in the second leg. After the game, coach Inzagi admitted that it would be difficult for captain Lautaro Martinez to catch up with the second leg, and the injured main right center back Paval also took 18 to 20 days, and it was almost impossible to play in Barcelona.

Inter Milan is indeed unable to compare with Barcelona in terms of bench depth. Although the latter's main center Lewandowski was injured and could not play, Ferrantors played the role of a substitute and also scored a goal to equalize the score in this game. Without Lautaro, Inter Milan can only rely on the aging Arnautovic, Taremi and Joaquin Correa, who is difficult to become a great player.

But even if the ammunition and food are exhausted, Inter Milan has no way out now and has no choice but to fight back. Now, I can only hope that Inter Milan's substitute strikers can give some strength.
