FWEEEE!
The referee's whistle cut through the noise like a blade, the sacred signal to start the game at the San Siro.
And the game started.
The 90 minutes journey started.
Tonight, this was a game to die for. A game to kill for.
90 minutes to decide a season for Inter Milan. But for FC Barcelona, the once Kings of Europe? It was 90 minutes to decide a decade.
It was more than a decade since FC Barcelona last made it to the final of the UEFA Champions League, in 2015 where they defeated another Italian side in a prime Juventus led by an ageing Gianluigi Buffon and Andrea Pirlo.
Tonight, it was not the final yet, but the road to the final.
It was the semifinal.
And it was not against that dynamic Juventus team, rather, it was against Simone Inzaghi's stalwart Inter Milan side.
