The first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Inter Milan ended in an electrifying 3-3 draw, filled with goals and intensity. This result keeps both teams in contention ahead of the decisive return leg, set to take place next Tuesday at the San Siro in Milan.
Following the dramatic match, Barcelona legend Andrés Iniesta broke his silence, publicly criticizing UEFA for what he believes was an unfair decision concerning rising star Lamine Yamal. Iniesta expressed disappointment that Yamal wasn’t named Man of the Match despite delivering a stellar performance.
Iniesta described UEFA’s decision as “unjust” and warned that such choices risk diminishing the sport’s integrity. “When things like this happen, football keeps going downhill,” he remarked.
Praising Yamal’s dribbling and scoring prowess, Iniesta emphasized that the young player deserved formal recognition. He added that if current standards continue, talent like Yamal’s may go unappreciated, which could harm the sport in the long run.
Iniesta concluded by expressing disbelief at UEFA’s oversight, insisting that any fair judgment would have awarded Yamal the honor he rightfully earned.
Well stated veteran. This is not new things to us as Barcelona fans. But we will still stand with our team and our super star.
