Barca’s Young Guns vs. Inter’s Seasoned Pros

Unexpected Heroes Steal the Show
The game had heroes you wouldn’t expect. Acerbi, that 37-year-old defender, scored a clutch goal in extra time. Talk about a comeback story! And Eric Garcia from Barca, who doesn’t always start, scored an amazing volley. Even Yann Sommer, who had a rough time with Bayern, became Inter’s hero.
Dumfries: The Unsung Hero
Denzel Dumfries was the real MVP. He might not have been in the spotlight, but he was always there when it mattered. With five direct goal involvements, he was the most effective player of the entire semi-final!
