Dumfries overhead kick puts Inter 2-0 up in Barcelona
Thuram sent the travelling Nerazzurri supporters into a frenzy with his opening goal after just 30 seconds, making a phenomenal return after a three-game injury absence. For reference, Simone Inzaghi's side had lost all three of those matches without the Frenchman.

Then, less than 20 minutes later, Inter were 2-0 up thanks to another great finish from another injury returnee, Denzel Dumfries.
An outswinging Federico Dimarco corner was met by the head of Francesco Acerbi, and played into the path of Dumfries, who was able to pull out an overhead kick in a congested Barcelona penalty area to send the Nerazzurri 2-0 up.
INTER LEAD 2-0 WITHIN 21 MINUTES!

The celebrations did not last for long, however, as Lamine Yamal, who had been an injury doubt minutes before kick-off, halved the deficit and then hit the frame of the goal shortly afterwards.

Fernando Alonso: F1 cannot lose Barcelona after 2026
While Barcelona technically has a contract to host a Formula 1 race next season, this weekend's grand prix is being treated as a swansong by many with Madrid set to join the calendar from 2026. The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya has played host to the Spanish Grand Prix since relocating from Jerez in 1991 and has become a firm favourite for teams, who have racked up hours of testing time around its 14 corners. Advertisement However, with F1 bosses pushing for more investment in infrastructure and traffic management, in particular, falling on deaf ears, they have elected to sign up Madrid instead, with Spain's capital set to host a street circuit race around the 'Madring'. Not since 1981 has Madrid been a destination on the F1 calendar, with the new circuit signing a deal until 2035 – although it is due to come into effect from next year, when Barcelona is still also slated to host a race. It is unlikely, given the packed schedule and with nations queuing up for a race, that both Spanish cities will stage grand prix in the same year – but unlike Imola, which hosted its last race for the foreseeable future a fortnight ago – two key drivers seem to be more keen to remain in Catalonia. Two-time F1 world champion Fernando Alonso has twice won his home race and maintains that Barcelona will keep its place. Advertisement 'I don't think that we will lose Barcelona. So that's my opinion and my wish as well,' the Aston Martin driver said. Fernando Alonso, Aston Martin Racing Fernando Alonso, Aston Martin Racing Zak Mauger / Motorsport Images via Getty Images Zak Mauger / Motorsport Images via Getty Images 'I think it's good to have new venues. It's good to have new countries as well that Formula 1 has moved to in the last decade. But at the same time, we need to keep some traditional circuits where the history of Formula 1 has been written and made. 'I think Formula 1 and Barcelona are very linked. We've been testing here for decades. I think all the teams choose Barcelona when they have to choose one test track. We come back next year here in winter because we have new regulations, new cars, and again, once again, the teams chose Barcelona because it's the Formula 1 track in a way. Advertisement 'I think the circuit has made some changes to make it up to Formula 1 standards. So in the last two or three years, all the paddock facilities, the grandstands, everything has taken a new level. And Barcelona has been here for the last two or three decades, and Barcelona will be here for the next 10, 20, 30, 40 years. 'And some of the venues will be just momentarily on the calendar and then probably they will disappear again. So, we cannot lose Barcelona.' Reigning world champion Max Verstappen is one of only two drivers to win in Barcelona in the past nine years and took his maiden F1 win there in his first race for Red Bull in 2016. He believes it would be a shame to see the race drop off the calendar. "I think for F1 in general, it would be a bit of a loss, of course, if this track goes. Especially, I think, for the drivers. But I think even the fan experience is nice,' he said. Preparing for the 'Madring' Madring layout for Formula 1's Spanish Grand Prix Madring layout for Formula 1's Spanish Grand Prix Advertisement Organisers confirmed that the 2026 F1 Spanish Grand Prix will be held over 57 laps of the 5.4-kilometre, 22-turn Madring circuit, having also presented an onboard lap of the digital version. The Madring circuit, with numerous nods to the history of Madrid and Spain, will start with a 589-metre straight, the second longest of the entire layout. From the start line there will be a 202-metre sprint to Turn 1, but in racing conditions Turn 1s and 2 are expected to yield some overtaking opportunities as cars slow down from 320kph to 100kph for the first chicane. Carlos Sainz was born in Madrid and has become an ambassador for the new race so there was no surprise when he spoke of his excitement and how he believes the race will be a 'success' in his hometown. 'I'm the ambassador - they made me ambassador for the Grand Prix, and I'm going to try to support the circuit, the community, and make it the best it can be," he said. Advertisement 'I'm really looking forward to it because I believe Madrid has huge potential as a city, and I think more and more people around the world are realising how lucky we are to have a city like Madrid. I believe it's going to be a success.' Read Also: Madrid's Spanish GP organisers unveil F1's new Madring circuit To read more articles visit our website.

Did Lamine Yamal's father post his new Barcelona salary on Instagram?
On Tuesday night, Barcelona confirmed the good news – Lamine Yamal had renewed his contract until 2031, tying his long-term future to the club. The 17-year-old has already become one of the best players at Barcelona, and now cements his place as a cornerstone of their project. The deal cannot come into force until he turns 18, in July, and there was also no pictures of Lamine Yamal signing the new deal, an unusual detail. This is reportedly due to the fact that his grandmother could not be there, and Lamine Yamal wanted all of his family there for the official photos. Did Lamine Yamal's father post his new salary on Instagram? One person who was present was father Mounir Nasraoui, who has been active in accompanying his son during his early career. He was seen outside the club offices shouting 'Visca El Barca' after the event, and then proceeded to post a picture on his Intagram story with his son at the basketball arena. With no context, he posted '19,3' as the caption. Image via Mounir Nasraoui / Instagram Some have speculated that this could be the value of his new salary in millions, Cadena SER have claimed that €19.3m could refer to his net salary, including the bonus that Lamine Yamal woud earn for winning the Ballon d'Or. Meanwhile El Chiringuito have disputed this idea, with Jose Alvarez claiming to have spoken with Nasraoui. His claim is that the 19 refers to the number Lamine Yamal wears, and the three is a reflection of the number of titles he has won this year. What do we know about Lamine Yamal's contract? There has been plenty of speculation about Lamine Yamal's salary. Last week Director of Football Deco denied claims that he had asked to be the best-paid in the squad, while President Joan Laporta had said that Lamine Yamal needed a contract in accordance with his new status. It is thought that he has a €1b release clause, and his base salary will be around €8m net per year. However including all of the variables and bonuses, he could become the best-paid player in the squad. It has also been suggested that his salary will rise by €2m per season.
