With a group tormented by uncommon gamers in the beginning lineup, Carles Pérez surpassed these of Ernesto Valverde and Ansu Fati completed off a group that dreamed of being once more amongst the 16 finest in the continent, till Lukaku collided with the objective.

Advantage Victory Of those that make pineapple for the future to resolve a European poll that had threatened to develop into a disaster and has resulted in a complete party. If 15 days in the past the victory towards Borussia Dortmund served to condemn the go and the group management, this time the exit to Giuseppe Meazza has consecrated the second unit of the Blaugrana group. With out Messi, with out Ter Stegen, with out Piqué, with out Busquets and, at instances, with out De Jong and Luis Suárez, the Carles (Aleñá and Pérez) threw the group behind their backs to slap a lethal actuality slap at an Inter, who For the second 12 months in a row, he will get out of the eighth when he had it in his hand.

And that when seeing the preliminary lineups in Milan they rubbed their palms. Barça confirmed the promulgation in the recall of Messi and Piqué and Txingurri despatched six debutants to the turf as starters, of which 4 did in the total Champions League. Thus, Rakitic commanded, Wagué occupied proper lane and Neto, Todibo, Aleñá and Carles Pérez accomplished the 'hazing'.

On the different hand, these of Conte went out with every part and every part in order that as quickly as they began, Kuipers annulled the first of the evening to Lukaku. The Belgian, who by no means goes unnoticed (for failures or successes) despatched the ball to the backside of the web in an unlawful place to warn of the avalanche promised by Giuseppe Meazza, who noticed two extra earlier than reaching the first 20 minutes once more on the legs of '9' and these of a Biragui who owns the left lane.

Nevertheless, the possession of the ball was from Barcelona. These of Valverde solely seemed stressed in the theft and fast exit 'nerazzurri' and at the controls of Aleñá, properly flanked by Rakitic and Vidal, they tried to make revenue on their events. Thus he would arrive in the first clear of the encounter, after a middle of a brand new inadvertent Griezmann, that Godín left badly lifeless in the space. Carles Pérez was not going to overlook it and pulling objective scent he shot Handanovic to silence a fief who had already heard from Dortmund the first of Borussia.

Lukaku's solely success got here along with that of Slavia

With that each the guests threw themselves ahead and of their finest minutes of the complete match, they got here to nook an Inter additionally decreased by the effort to take care of the management in the Serie A. These of Conte didn’t reply that for extra inri they stayed millimeters to suit the second in one other lifeless ball in the space, which this time Lenglet despatched out with every part in his favor.

It had been greater than half an hour and the information from Germany nonetheless didn't assist. However then, Lautaro started pulling the Milanese automotive and was near a draw that compelled Neto to stretch. The identical was not going to occur to the subsequent one and in a ball defended with a fist and sword earlier than the protection culé, the Argentine took sufficient income to depart it going through Lukaku and that the shot of the Belgian was unattainable for the Brazilian objective.

Tie to relaxation and the arreón that additionally got here from Dortmund the place the Slavia tied towards all odds. There have been 45 minutes left and Inter, with simply sufficient, all of the sudden discovered himself with a go virtually unintentionally. However it was essential to defend it and that Barcelona was going to promote it very costly, as a result of it was to depart the tunnel of altering rooms and these of Valverde to proceed with its tonic that discovered events in the pictures of Rakitic and Griezmann.

Dortmund put the lace on and Ansu Fati the thrust

On the different hand, when the recreation time arrived and with the discover of the second and the last dessert of Dortmund, Inter despatched all their ships to the area. Lukaku forgave one other two extra, first with a terrific shot to Neto when Meazza sang the objective and then losing a theft of Lautaro.

In Barcelona, ​​in the meantime and to defend himself, Valverde gave entry to Suárez and De Jong by means of Griezmann and Rakitic. A transparent warning that he was not going to provide something to his rival and that there was time for the gunman to condemn Inter. One thing that was not keen to permit a Lautaro, with out prize regardless of the effort, that despatched one other shot out after an excellent particular person play.

There are 20 minutes left and the black and white squad started to get nervous. Extra when Lukaku threw free towards Neto and Kuipers reappeared for this time to disclaim Lautaro a bit, clearly offside. Politano and Esposito got here in to attempt to end the comeback, the Argentine striker once more clashed with the offside after an unlawful place of Lukaku and the final ten minutes had been going to be the grave for these of Conte.

Valverde launched Ansu Fati for a Carles Pérez who had had one towards his double, the Italians launched into the assault with all their artillery and in the first one the younger Spanish pearl performed, he ended up destroying the interist group. Surprise of objective, lunge and hope that vanished with the information that in the Sign Iduna Park the Slavia delivered the flag.

What began with hope ultimately turned Inter's nightmare. The reminiscence of final season (additionally with Barcelona, ​​however this time propitiating the Tottenham go) was a actuality and the 'hazing' ended up going through Conte. Valverde knew how you can encourage his second unit wanted for these video games and the Carles pulled the automotive that Ansu Fati completed off. Excellent closure for Barcelona that takes morals earlier than Anoeta and El Clásico and already expects the eighth opponent in a hype that guarantees to be benevolent. Tottenham, Naples, Lyon, Chelsea and risk of Leverkusen and one other one of the Shakhtar, Zagreb and Atalanta. That nonetheless, is February story.
