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 will be ready to partner first-leg goalscorer Marcus Thuram up front.
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 starting lineup (3-5-2): Sommer (GK) — Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni — Dumfries, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Barella, Dimarco — Martinez, Thuram
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 does not appear to have recovered in time from a hamstring injury of his own.
It means Flick could effectively field four central defenders, with Eric Garcia filling in at right-back and Inigo Martinez shifting to left-back, with Ronald Araujo coming in to partner Pau Cubarsi at the heart of defence. Flick made the latter switch at halftime in the initial game after young full-back Gerard Martin endured a torrid time.
The Barcelona front six is likely to remain unchanged from the initial encounter, with Robert Lewandowski unlikely to be risked from the start as he recovers from a hamstring strain.
Barcelona predicted starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Szczesny (GK) — Garcia, Araujo, Cubarsi, Martinez — Pedri, De Jong — Lamine Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha — Ferran
Injured: Lewandowski (hamstring), Kounde (hamstring), Balde (hamstring, doubt), Casado (knee), Bernal (ACL)
Suspended: None
