Barcelona were on the verge of a famous victory in Milan as they came back from a 2-0 deficit in the first half, only to concede twice late in the game and lose 4-3 after extra-time as they crashed out of the Champions League semi-finals, with Inter progressing 7-6 on aggregate. Blaugrana sensation Yamal was left heartbroken after the second leg thriller, but made a vow to fans that he will help deliver Europe's most prestigious trophy in the coming years.
