According to “Varzesh3,” the thrilling match between Inter Milan and Barcelona in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, which ended with a 4-3 victory for the Italian team, was one of the most exciting performances of the season. However, in addition to the excitement, the match also had suspicious and unclear scenes that were not clarified for the viewers.

The match was broadcast by Sky Sport Italia, the rights holder of the Champions League in Italy. The image direction was handled by Federico Fazini, who had to choose the best shots from 22 active cameras. Although these extensive facilities were at the level of UEFA matches, they ultimately left an unpleasant feeling for many viewers because many key scenes were neither repeated nor explained, leaving the audience unaware of many on-field incidents.

The ambiguities started from the first minute:
Right at the beginning, Eric García made a successful press to steal the ball and pass it to Lamine Yamal, who immediately set up Ferran Torres in a scoring position. However, the Barcelona striker was not allowed to complete his attack, and the TV broadcast did not even replay this scene once to clarify whether it was offside or not. This was the first doubt among viewers.

The clash between Iñigo Martínez and Francesco Acerbi that went unseen: 
The issue did not end there. Viewers did not notice the tense moment between Iñigo Martínez and Acerbi. Both players had suspicious scenes that were not shown in the official broadcast, but some social media users managed to record them.

Iñigo himself admitted after the match that he spat but emphasized:
“Not towards him, I spat a meter away.” It was also reported that Acerbi kicked the Barcelona defender, which was not shown in the live broadcast or replays. Although UEFA broadcast images of the altercation afterward, it never showed the origin of the incident, increasing doubts among viewers.

Not broadcasting the foul on Gerard Martín:
Undoubtedly, one of the most controversial scenes was Inter’s third goal, which was rarely replayed by TV—a scene that could have changed the course of the game. Before Acerbi’s goal, Dumfries had a collision with Gerard Martín, but the referee hesitantly allowed play to continue, and VAR did not intervene. This goal ultimately took the game into extra time, while viewers could not even see a slow-motion replay of this incident.

During the 132 minutes and 13 seconds of the match, the TV broadcast failed to clarify the scenes for the viewers. For example, in a controversial scene in the 73rd minute, Acerbi committed two consecutive fouls on Pedri, but only a general view was shown, and no slow-motion replay was available. Even substitutions like Fermín replacing Dani Olmo were not shown clearly.
Instead, the TV repeatedly broadcast Inter’s goals and celebrations.
