Twitter exploded as Barcelona were saved by Robert Lewandowski, who was on hand to score a stoppage-time goal against Inter Milan to secure a 3-3 draw in the UEFA Champions League. The result helped the Spanish club avoid the drop into the UEFA Europa League on this matchday.
The Blaugrana were beaten 1-0 last week when they faced the Nerrazurri at the Giuseppe Meazza and were intent on showcasing an improved performance this time. However, Xavi Hernandez's men stumbled from the start and Inter picked up their first big chance on goal, just 16 minutes into the game.
An excellent free-kick from Hakan Calhanoglu met Edin Dzeko deep in the Barcelona box and the striker crashed it into the crossbar. The ball came right back into play after touching the goal line, but eventually, Marc-Andre ter Stegen was able to gather it up.

Barca soon retaliated, courtesy of Ousmane Dembele, but it was a long-range effort that didn't trouble Andre Onana too much. However, this chance spurred the team into action and they started to push into Inter's area with much more consistency. Soon enough, Onana had to make important saves, notably keeping out efforts from Sergi Roberto and Lewandowski.
Eventually, the opening goal came for Barcelona, with Dembele getting on the scoresheet at the brink of half-time. A pinpoint cross from Roberto met Dembele in the area, and the French winger did not waste time in putting it past Onana and into the bottom corner in the 40th minute.
A flurry of goals come in from both sides as Barcelona grab one point in stoppage time
Although Barcelona seemed as though they had secured the perfect start, things soon went sideways for the Spanish outfit. Barca enjoyed possession and domination in the first half as Camp Nou backed their players. However, it was a shocking start to the second half for the Catalans.
Just five minutes in, the Italians pulled level, silencing the home crowd and responding brilliantly to their mismatched performance in the first-half. Alessandro Bastoni provided the assist for Nicolo Barella, who volleyed in the equalizer in style.
Inter continued playing with intent, forcing Ter Stegen to make vital saves, and eventually their efforts were rewarded and the Nerazzurri went ahead. Lautaro Martinez was on hand to score a brilliant goal after an eight-game drought, marking the side's second on the scoresheet after just an hour.
However, a flurry of goals soon began as Lewandowski leveled the game for Barcelona in the 82nd minute. Inter pulled ahead again in the 89th minute with a brilliant effort from Robin Gosens, but they did little to stop the Blaugrana from equalizing yet again.
It was Lewandowski who did his duty to be at the forefront once more. He bagged the equalizer in the second minute of stoppage time to secure a draw for his side.
Here is how Twitter reacted to Barcelona's 3-3 draw against Inter:
With the draw, the Catalan club live to fight another day in the Champions League. However, they are still in third place in Group C with four points, three less than Inter who are second.
