According to “Varzesh3,” while only three hours remained until the highly sensitive match between Inter and Barcelona in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, Ricardo Sá Pinto, the French defender of Barça who missed this match due to injury, arrived in Milan separately from the team.

This news was published earlier by the newspaper Marca. The strange part is that Sá Pinto did not travel to Milan yesterday with the rest of the team but suddenly decided today to watch his teammates’ crucial match at San Siro up close.

Interestingly, Sá Pinto attempted to disguise himself with a hat and sunglasses on the plane to avoid being recognized, but he was unsuccessful, and Barcelona fans on the flight discovered him and took photos with him.

It is worth mentioning that Sá Pinto has been Barcelona’s most consistent player in all competitions over the past two seasons. Last week, he suffered a thigh muscle injury in the first leg of the match and thus missed tonight’s crucial game due to injury.
