Inter Milan and Barcelona reconvene in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals, six days on from serving up an instant classic.
Inter led 2-0 and 3-2 at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys but were pegged back as Lamine Yamal produced a bravura performance.
The Barca winger scored a magnificent goal to start the initial fightback, while his fellow Ballon d'Or contender Raphinha smashed home a brilliant equaliser in off goalkeeper Yann Sommer to ensure we head to San Siro all square.
Both teams have injury concerns in key positions. Will beaten 2023 finalists Inter get another shot at glory or will Barcelona head to Munich in search of a sixth European title?

Star striker Lautaro Martinez could only manage 45 minutes in last week's game as he continues to manage a thigh problem. However, a report in the print edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport on Monday suggested the Argentina international would be ready to partner first-leg goalscorer Marcus Thuram up front, and that is indeed the case.
Hakan Calhanoglu served a domestic suspension at the weekend but that merely meant he was one of several first-choice stars who sat out the weekend win over Verona. Like his opposite number, Inter boss Simone Inzaghi is coming into this one with the benefit of fresh legs.
Inter Milan predicted starting lineup (3-5-2): Sommer (GK) — Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni — Dumfries, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Barella, Dimarco — Martinez, Thuram
Inter Milan subs: Di Gennaro (GK), J. Martinez, De Vrij, Zielinski, Arnautovic, Frattesi, Asllani, Augusto, Darmian, Re Cecconi, Zalewski, Taremi
Injured: Martinez (thigh, doubt), Pavard (ankle)
Suspended: None

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has a headache in both fullback positions and must also weigh rushing any players back against the looming demands on a pivotal La Liga Clasico against Real Madrid this coming Saturday.
Jules Kounde will miss out after limping off during the first leg, while Alejandro Balde has not recovered in time from a hamstring injury of his own.
Eric Garcia fills in at right-back, while Flick has kept faith with Gerard Martin on the other flank despite him being substituted at halftime last week.
The Barcelona front six remains unchanged from the initial encounter, with Robert Lewandowski on the bench as he recovers from a hamstring strain.
Barcelona starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Szczesny (GK) — Garcia, Cubarsi, Martinez, Gerard Martin — Pedri, De Jong — Lamine Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha — Ferran
Barcelona subs: Inaki Pena (GK), Astralaga (GK), Araujo, Gavi, Lewandowski, Fati, Christensen, Fermin, Pau Victor, Fort, Farre, Darvich
Injured: Lewandowski (hamstring), Kounde (hamstring), Balde (hamstring, doubt), Casado (knee), Bernal (ACL)
Suspended: None
