Final Verdict

A Champions League classic. 

Goals. Chances. Speed. Good defending. Great Saves. 

We had everything. But still, we could not separate the teams. 

Inter would be happy to make it 3-3 in Barcelona and then hope to win the second leg at their home. 

Meanwhile, Barcelona would also be happy with how they came back every time they were behind. 

What will happen in the second leg? I do not know. Nobody knows with two great teams going against each other. But, surely, we will have another Champions League classic.

Final verdict

It was a crazy match indeed. Barcelona started well. Mallorca started in the worst possible way.

Morlanes received two yellow cards to get sent off, while Muriqui was shown a direct red card for a high boot on Joan Garcia. 

Mallorca did well to concede only one more goal despite being down to nine men.
