Inter Milan’s Kristjan Asllani Shockingly Misses an Injury Time Chance to Knock Barcelona Out of the UCL

• Inter Milan youngster Kristjan Asllani missed a golden opportunity to score Inter's winning goal to eliminate Barcelona from the Champions League
• Asllani decided to shoot at goal when he should've squared the ball to Henrikh Mkhitaryan to tap into an empty net
• The pulsating match ended 3-3 as Barcelona survived before welcoming Bayern Munich later in the month

Barcelona breathed a sigh of relief on Wednesday night after Inter Milan's Kristjan Asllani missed a golden opportunity to put the Spanish giants out of their misery in the Champions League.

Defeat would see the five-time European cup winners eliminated from the tournament for the second time in a row.

Barcelona needed a 92nd-minute Robert Lewandowski equalizer, according to BBC, to save their Champions League campaign, but that goal would be useless if Asllani had made a better decision inside Barca's box.

Lautaro Martinez threaded a through ball to the young Asllani. He slowly took his stride, possibly coming up with ways to score, but Barcelona's keeper, Marc Andre ter Stegen, was slowly closing in.

Asllani's horrible miss

He made himself bigger, and all Asllani had to do was square the ball to Henrikh Mkhitaryan to tap into an empty net, according to Sportbible.

However, the youngster inexplicably decided to blast the ball towards Ter Stegen, who saved with his right leg, squandering a golden opportunity to eliminate Barcelona.

Many Inter fans on social media were outraged by the youngster's decision-making, but others defended the 20-year-old, saying that moment was a learning curve for him.

In the end-to-end entertaining encounter, Barcelona took the lead through Ousmane Dembele in the 40th minute before Nicolo Barella evened proceeding early in the second half.

Martinez gave the visitors the lead just after the hour mark, but Lewandoski scored eight minutes from time. Inter thought Robin Gosenss' 89th-minute goal was enough to win it, but Lewandowski rescued a point for the Catalans in added time.

Sports Brief earlier reported on Inter Milan's convincing 1-0 win over Barcelona in the first leg of their game, with Hakan Calhanoglu's gaol into the bottom corner just before halftime.

The game had controversial moments after Lautaro Martinez was denied a penalty by the new automated offside technology.

However, Barcelona did enough to get at least a point but blamed flawed refereeing decisions for the woes.
