TheSportsRush brings Barcelona vs Inter Milan highlights as the Catalans cruised to 2-0 victory in the Champions League clash.
Barcelona beat Inter Milan 2-0 in their Champions League game at Camp Nou earlier today. Goals from Rafael Alcantara and Jordi Alba were enough to secure three points for the Catalan side.
With this win, Barcelona remain a the top of their Champions League group with 9 points from three games.
A lot was said about Barcelona before the game, in relation to their struggles without Messi. However, the Catalan side dominated the game regardless and emerged winners against the Serie A side.
Barcelona will now return to La Liga, where they meet their arch-rivals Real Madrid, who also returned to winning ways with an edgy 2-1 win over Viktoria Plzen.
Here are some of the best twitter reactions from the game:
Rafinha has scored his first goal for Barcelona in any competition since February 2017 against Atlético Madrid in LaLiga.
Against the side he spent the second half of last season on loan with. 🙃 pic.twitter.com/MLpHolUhUq

Rafinha was the guy who displaced Icardi as the starting lineup at Barcelona youth team, because they started playing with a “false 9” – prompting Icardi to move to Sampdoria.
Quite ironic that he has scored his first Champions League goal as a false 9 against Icardi.— Michael Yokhin (@Yokhin) October 24, 2018

Arthur! How is it possible that he already plays like he’s been at Barcelona for a decade?!

Can it be a sign that he doesn’t support the new logo proposal? pic.twitter.com/KKJ81hhnDv

Calling Suarez a striker has always been a common mistake. He is a great playmaker with the ability to score out of nowhere. Appreciate genius

Yes obviously Rafinha turns into Messi and Suarez brings back his 14/15 self just 3 days before Clasico

When people talk about Suarez they talk about goals or work. Time to talk about passing too.

76.9% – @FCBarcelona have won 20 of their 26 @ChampionsLeague games without Lionel Messi since his debut in the competition (D2 L4). Tranquility. pic.twitter.com/wMvMom9YLO
