Champions League: Inter Milan vs Barcelona match highlights

Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde opted to rest Lionel Messi and other key players, having already secured the top spot in Group F. The youngsters stepped up well for the Catalan side to hand Barcelona a hard-earned victory in Italy. Despite having the upper hand in the early stages, the visitors took the lead against the run of play in the 23rd minute. Antoine Griezmann's well-timed pass was calmly dispatched by Carles Perez to make the score 1-0 to Barcelona. The Italian side equalised just at the stroke of half-time after Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku combined well before Lukaku hit a first-time shot into the bottom corner. 

Inter Milan did manage to put the ball into the back of the net a couple of times in the second half only to see them ruled out for offside. Romelu Lukaku could have settled the tie for the home side, but his profligacy in front of the goal allowed Barcelona to steal a late winner to break many Inter hearts. 17-year-old Ansu Fati produced a fine finish in the 87th minute to become the youngest scorer in the Champions League. The game finished at 2-1 to Barcelona
