Barcelona came from behind twice against Inter Milan to ensure a 3-3 draw in their Champions League semi-final first leg on Wednesday night.
The Serie A side came agonisingly close to sealing a win on the night after Henrikh Mkhitaryan poked home late in the second half – but the linesman had his flag up.
A brief check from VAR and the semi-automated offside technology showed that the Armenian was just millimetres beyond Barcelona’s final defender before shooting.
It proved to be the difference between one and three points for the visitors – with neither side able to find a breakthrough in the latter stage of the game.
The visitors took the lead at the Estadi de Montjuic within the first minute of the game after Marcus Thuram provided a neat flick to stun the home crowd into silence.
Inter doubled their advantage in the 21st minute after full-back Denzel Dumfries pulled off a stunning scissor kick inside the penalty area following a corner.
