goal in the Champions League on Tuesday to move into second place in Group C. Inter and Barcelona will face again next week at Camp Nou.

Inter opened the scoring through Joaquin Correa but this goal was disallowed for offside. Right before half-time, Hakan Calhanoglu scored for Inter with a powerful shot into the bottom corner.

The Best chance for Barca came in the 61st minute but Dembele’s strike hit the post. Just five minutes later, Barcelona equalized through Pedri after Inter players failed to clear the ball but the goal was disallowed after the referee decided that the ball had touched Ansu Fati’s hand.

VAR again frustrated Barcelona in stoppage time at the end of the game after deciding that the ball has not touched Denzel Dumfries' arm in the box.
