Raphinha (Barcelona):

“When you play at home, you expect to win. We conceded too many goals, but the tie is still open. We’ll fight in Milan.”

🧠 Tactical Insights:

Barcelona dominated possession but were vulnerable on set-pieces and counterattacks. Inter Milan’s efficiency in front of goal, especially from Dumfries, made the difference, while Sommer’s saves kept them alive.

Despite fatigue from their Copa del Rey win over Real Madrid, Barcelona showed spirit and creativity but lacked defensive stability.
