    🏆 UEFA Champions League Semi-Finals

    ⚽ Matches Summary

    Barcelona vs Inter Milan
    The first leg ended in a 3-3 thriller. Inter stunned Barça early with goals from Marcus Thuram (1′) and Denzel Dumfries (21′). Barcelona responded through Lamine Yamal (24′) and Ferran Torres (38′) before Dumfries struck again in the 63rd. Barça equalized in the 65th minute after Raphinha’s shot deflected off the bar and Inter keeper Sommer for an own goal.
    The second leg is set for May 6 in Milan.


    The standout performance came from 17-year-old Lamine Yamal, who became the youngest player to score in a Champions League semi-final. He also reached 100 appearances for Barcelona, surpassing Gavi’s previous record.

    PSG vs Arsenal
    PSG lead 1-0 after the first leg at the Emirates. The return leg is on May 7 at Parc des Princes, with everything still to play for.
    PSG took the lead in the 4th minute when Ousmane Dembélé scored following a swift combination play involving Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué, breaking through Arsenal’s defense.

    Arsenal’s Response: Despite creating several scoring opportunities and registering a higher expected goals (xG) total than PSG, Arsenal couldn’t find the back of the net. PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made crucial saves to deny efforts from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.

    Controversial Moments: Arsenal had a goal disallowed for offside and faced contentious refereeing decisions, adding to their frustrations during the match.
