Serie A powerhouse Inter Milan played Barcelona away in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals knockout match. Although Inter Milan only had a 29% possession rate in the game, he scored 3 goals with a sharp counterattack. This also became the first team in the history of the Champions League knockout stage with a ball possession rate of less than 30% but could score 3 goals. If it weren't for Mkhitaryan's "offside-down on the shoe" and scammers, Inter Milan might have had the last laugh in this game!

After Inter Milan tied 3-3 by Barcelona, ​​Mkhitaryan received a cross from Dumfries in the 75th minute of the game, and accurately sent the ball into the net in the penalty area. However, the semi-automatic offside detection system showed that before Mkhitaryan received the cross from the ball, his shoe tip was protruding 2 to 3cm, and the goal was finally judged to be invalid.

Mkhitaryan said after the game: "I feel angry and sad about the goal being blown away. We could have taken the lead, but because of the offside of 3cm, I may remember this offside for a lifetime." Regarding the home game in the second round, Mkhitaryan said: "We know how powerful Barcelona is, but they all have some weaknesses. We must make good use of them and strive for ideal results with all our might."
