Inter Milan were denied a penalty after a controversial VAR review, with the match referee dismissing his decision.
Inter stunned AC Milan when they took a two-goal lead within the first 11 minutes after goals from Edin Dzeko and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
And the visitors seemed to have a chance to treble when Lautaro Martínez was fouled in the penalty area.

However, the Spanish referee reversed his original decision after appealing to VAR by canceling the penalty and showing the Danish defender a yellow card. Needless to say, the penalty incident sent social media into a frenzy as some fans believed the Inter captain should have received a yellow card for a diving foul.
One Twitter user wrote:
"How this was overturned is beyond me."

The second argument argues:
"No penalty and book it to dive!"
The third added:
"How can Mcmanaman and Ferdinand say it was a nailed penalty, he never touched it"
The fourth said:
"Clear pen."
Another commented:
"Never get penalized!!! Should've been penalized for diving!"

Messi will do the impossible to return to Barcelona

And I'm not talking about the numbers, but more about his involvement in the game, his beauty, his efficiency, his efficiency, everything."
Messi's disappointing departure
Messi's departure two summers ago was a shock to the Blaugrana. "I never thought it would end like this," added Guardiola.

"Leo has helped our club [Barcelona] become much bigger than when he arrived. When someone is so great, you have to say goodbye properly. He left because of very difficult financial circumstances, for a thousand reasons that I will not go into.
"I hope one day I'll be in my place [at Camp Nou] and be able to stand up and clap, and say goodbye to Leo like he deserves.
“And I know that Joan [Laporta] will try, so will Leo, that he and his family will receive all the love that the Barcelona fans have for him, with all the gratitude and respect for what he is. he worked for the club. "
