Substitution against Inter left Barcelona star frustrated – report

Barcelona’s thrilling 3-3 draw against Inter Milan in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final offered no shortage of drama, with Lamine Yamal’s brilliance rightly taking the headlines.

However, a less-noticed moment involving Dani Olmo has sparked subtle tension within the squad and raised questions about the midfielder’s role under Hansi Flick.

Olmo, who started in an advanced midfield position alongside Frenkie De Jong and Pedri, was taken off in the 68th minute and replaced by Fermin Lopez.
