Ammon News - Almost six minutes into stoppage time, Lamine Yamal entered the area with the ball in front of him and only the goalkeeper to beat.
The teenage sensation was being challenged by a defender, but looked in good position to find the net.
Instead of scoring the goal that would likely take Barcelona to its first Champions League final in a decade, Yamal couldn’t manage more than a weak left-footed shot that went straight into the hands of Inter Milan goalkeeper Yann Sommer.
The 17-year-old Spain forward had another strong performance Tuesday, creating chances and being a constant threat, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Catalan club to its first Champions League final in a decade.
Yamal’s missed opportunity at the end of regulation proved costly, leaving the score even at 3-3 before Inter Milan prevailed 4-3 in extra time to advance to the final 7-6 on aggregate score.
Yamal had scored an amazing goal in the first leg in Barcelona, but couldn’t find the net this time to help Barcelona in the return match in San Siro.
Another left-footed effort in extra time looked promising but Sommer made a fingertip save to preserve the 4-3 lead. AP
