Netherlands MOTM After Crazy Barcelona 3-3 Inter Milan Hails Nerazzurri Performance: “We Saw The Real Inter” | OneFootball

Denzel Dumfries delivered an out-of-this-world performance in Inter Milan’s 3-3 draw at Barcelona in the Champions League (UCL) semi-finals.

Speaking to Prime via FCInterNews, Dumfries hailed Inter’s collective effort at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

After losing three consecutive games without scoring, Simone Inzaghi’s side demonstrated their scoring prowess tonight.

Indeed, back from a month-long spell on the sidelines, Denzel Dumfries painted his first start since March with flying colors.

The 29-year-old netted his first Champions League brace, including a sensational overhead kick to make it 2-0.

Furthermore, he served Marcus Thuram on a platter for Inter’s early opener.

In doing so, Dumfries earned the ‘Man of the Match’ award, yet it was insufficient for a win.

Nonetheless, a spirited performance in Catalonia can inspire confidence in Inzaghi’s camp ahead of next week’s return leg in Italy.
