Barcelona will need to secure a win in their UEFA Champions League semifinal second leg at Inter Milan after a wild 3-3 draw in Catalonia.
On a chaotic night at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, Hansi Flick's side fought back from two early goals against, as Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez tied the game at 2-2 at half-time.
Chances at both ends set up the contest for another rollercoaster after the restart, as Denzel Dumfries scored again for Inter, before Raphinha's wonder strike deflected in off Yann Sommer for an equalising own goal.
As the dust settles, Barcelona will need to edge out a positive result at the San Siro on May 6, to keep their treble trophy charge alive in the coming weeks.
Lamine Yamal once again stole the show for Barcelona, with a brilliant finish, as the 17-year-old posed problems for the Inter Milan defence all night.
The teenager was a box of tricks down the Barcelona right-side, twisting and turning away Federico Dimarco and his replacement Carlos Augusto, and he landed a new fan to add to his growing army of his supporters with Manchester City star Erling Haaland hailing his performance on the biggest stage.
