The beauty of football in one place, a match that will be remembered and recounted, goals that will grace the Champions League scorelines for decades...
Barcelona and Inter "bought" the planet - some attacked and scored, others defended and scored, and the art of football is both ways.
In the end, after six goals and an atomic draw at "Montjuic" (3:3), only one thing is clear - the issue of passengers in Munich will be resolved in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, which will be played in Milan on Tuesday.
That this was going to be a crazy Champions League night was clear after just 30 seconds when maestro Marcus Thuram scored with his heel.
He was assisted by Denzel Dumfries, and then the Dutchman continued the show - in the 21st minute, he scored a spectacular scissor kick after a corner kick (0:2).
Of course, Barca's reaction was expected, and it came quickly - super teenager Lamin Jamal played a phenomenal match, and responded to Inter's magic with magic. He stirred up the Nerazzurri's defense and masterfully shot at the far post.
Hansi Flick's team reached the break tied at 2:2 - the action from the video games was crowned by Pedri, Rafinha and the scorer Ferran Torres.
Inter seemed to be on the ropes, but the Italian champion showed strength once again - the second corner of the match and Dumfries' second goal, now with a header in the 63rd minute (2:3).
And then Barcelona again - just two minutes later, after a bomb from Rafinha, the ball bounced off the crossbar, hit Jan Sommer in the back and ended up in the net.
Barca tried and after that, they attacked, but also, somewhat frivolously, kept their defense very high.
And Simone Inzaghi is too good a coach and knew how to use everything, so Inter opened up the rival's defense several times, was very dangerous, and even scored once. However, the tip of Henrikh Mkhitaryan's boot was offside.
Ninety minutes to remember, everyone can't wait for another showdown in Milan.
The end of the game, although everyone probably wanted to keep playing.
Barcelona and Inter played an unforgettable 90 minutes and are tied 3:3 and await the rematch in Milan..
90 ' - There will only be three minutes left to play.
86 ' - Unreal attempt by Lamine Jamal, but the crossbar saved Inter.
75 ' - Once again, Inter "opened up" Barcelona, after Dumfries' cross, Mkhitaryan scored, but the Armenian's boot was offside - Barca were very lucky.
71 ' - Inter is dangerous on the counterattack, taking advantage of Barcelona's high defense.
Mkhitaryan brilliantly opened up Barcelona's defense, launching Tiram, but the Nerazzurri striker this time didn't have the strength to finish the move.
65' - GOOOOOOOL, what a match this is, what a response from Barcelona once again. Rafinha's bomb from about twenty meters - the ball bounced off the crossbar, hit Sommer in the back and ended up in the net.
Barcelona - Inter 3:3.
64' - GOOOOOOOL, second corner for Inter, second goal and again Denzel Dumfries - this time the Dutchman flew past the Barca defense and scored with a header.
47 ' - Inter is starting better again - Bisek passed down the right side, found Dimarco on the left, the "Nera Azzurri" defender shot, but it was not accurate.
It leaves in another 45 minutes - Inter lost captain Lautaro Martinez due to injury, while Kunde had to leave the field a little earlier on the other side.
A few interesting facts before the second half:
Thiram's goal in the 30th second is the fastest in the history of the Champions League when it comes to semi-finals.
Rafinha has been involved in 20 of Barca's goals in the Champions League this season - only Cristiano Ronaldo has had a better performance in a single season (21).
The end of the first half - and one that will be remembered.
Inter led 30-21 with goals from Thuram in the 2th second and Dumfries in the 0st minute, but Barca reached 2-2 with hurricane attacks through Jamal and Ferran.
Each of the four goals was a masterpiece.
39' - GOOOOOAL, another one like from a video game. Barcelona tied it at 2:2, scored by Ferran Torres - after a move with Pedri and Rafinha. The Blaugrana practically walked into the Inter goal.
36 ' - Barcelona continues to attack, Dani Olmo had a new chance - the Spanish midfielder shot dangerously from the edge of the penalty area, but Sommer was excellent once again.
27 ' - Crossbar - and again the unreal Jamal. This time he sent Dimarco off the field, and then almost from a blind spot hit the crossbar. Why it wasn't 2:2, is due to Sommer who reacted brilliantly.
24' - GOOOOOOOL, another masterpiece, now by Barca's super teenager - Lamin Jamal shuffled the Inter defense, scored and reduced the score to 2:1.
21' - GOOOOOOOL, Barca attack, but Inter score spectacular goals. It's already 2:0 for the Nerazzurri, after a fifth from Thuram, now Dumfries scores with a scissor kick.
19 ' - Another big chance for Barcelona and Ferran again - this time he shot diagonally, and the ball again went just wide of the post.
12 ' - Barça started with a recognizable game, and Ferran Torres had the first big chance - after a great cross from Jamal, he shot wide of the post.
1' - GOOOOOOOL, what a start and what a moment from Marcus Thuram - after just 30 seconds, the Inter maestro scored with his backheel for a shock win at Montjuic.
1' - The spectacle on "Montjuic" has begun.
Barça and Inter have played 12 matches against each other so far, with the "blaugrana" winning six, four ending in draws, and the "Nerazuri" winning two.
However, Inter has advanced in its only semi-final clash so far - in 2010, when the Milan club was also European champion.
