Boban reveals Capello predicted Barcelona vs Inter result | OneFootball

Zvonimir Boban reveals Fabio Capello predicted Barcelona-Inter would finish 3-3 when the Nerazzurri were leading 2-0 in the first half.

Former Italian coach Capello predicted the exact result of Barcelona-Inter last night, but he did so while the Nerazzurri were leading 2-0 in the first half.

Early goals from Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries gave Simone Inzaghi’s men a double lead in the opening minutes, but Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres levelled the score before the break.

It ultimately ended 3-3 with another Dumfries goal and Yann Sommer’s unlucky own goal in the second half.

“It was a spectacular, extraordinary game,” Boban told Sky Sport Italia via Corriere dello Sport.

“When Inter were leading 2-0 and seeing how Barcelona were playing, Mr Capello told me it would finish 3-3. You don’t always get it right, but he said it when Inter were 2-0 up.”

Both Boban and Capello were the pundits on Sky Sport Italia last night.

Boban and Capello won the Champions League at Milan in 1993-94 when the Rossoneri, coached by the Italian tactician, beat Barcelona 4-0 at the Olympic Stadium in Athens.

The second leg semifinal between Inter and Barcelona will be played at San Siro next week, on Tuesday, May 6.

Barcelona vs Inter: What Inzaghi said about Lautaro

Inter star Lautaro Martinez suffered an injury in the first half of yesterday’s match and coach Simone Inzaghi said after the game: “We played a great game, clearly were 2-0 up, I still don’t understand why that goal was disallowed, so there are also regrets, but we know that we put in a great performance against in my view right now the best team in the world.

“Lautaro felt a twinge, but had been playing eight games in a row. Unfortunately, we had these little issues, as I didn’t have Thuram, Taremi was also coming off an injury and I wasn’t able to rotate. When you start eight matches in a row, there is the risk of injury, I hope it’s nothing too serious, but I do have a few doubts.”
