Barcelona's dreams of winning a treble and ending a 10-year drought without lifting the UEFA Champions League came to an end in a heartbreaking semifinals defeat to Inter Milan.
In one of the greatest-ever Champions League semifinals ties, Barcelona were seconds away from advancing to the final only for it all to come crashing down as the Nerazzurri scored once in stoppage time and again in extra time to win it 7–6 on aggregate.
Barça players were visibly emotional after the final whistle, having come so close to reaching the Champions League final for the first time since the 2014-15 season.
One of those players was Lamine Yamal. The 17-year-old star was one of the main reasons the Catalans were so close to reaching the final. His goal in the first leg made him the youngest player ever to score in a Champions League semifinal. The teenager tormented Inter's back line for the entirety of the tie.
Had it not been for Yann Sommer's heroic saves and the three times his shots hit the woodwork over both legs, Barcelona could very well be finalists.
In the aftermath of Barcelona's defeat, Yamal took to social media to send a message to all Barcelona fans, making a promise to the Blaugrana faithful for what's to come.
