Thuram, returning to the side after injuries, scored the fastest goal in a champion league game the last four when he found the network with a sublime goal of rear heel after only 30 seconds to give him the lead.
Denzel Dumfrias later doubled the lead with a chief kick too bright shortly before Yamal presented his talent in his 100th appearance in Barcelona, marking an exquisite solo effort to halve the deficit.
Torres leveled the score before half the time, but Simone Inzghi’s side recovered the lead through Dumfrias after the time mark.
Yann Sommer’s own goal of a fierce Raphinha strike again brought the hosts, but neither side was able to find a winner.
It took less than a minute to break the deadline. Inter worked the ball towards Dumfrias, which shot on a cross that Thuram turned to the extreme courtesy of an exquisite halfway.
It was a dream start for visitors. The goal, after only 30 seconds, was the fastest in the history of the Champions League semifinal.

Nerazzurri had won the nine games they had first marked at the Champions League this season. But the scores should have been equalized in 12 minutes when Yamal, who started the game despite the fact that he warmed up, found towers on the shores of the box.
The first touch of Espanyol, however, finally dropped him and his subsequent shot was undone.
The Barcelona striker saw another effort derived the wrong side of the post before Dumfries shocked the hosts duplicating the Inter’s advantage with another sublime end.
From the corner, the head of Francesco Acerbi returned to the goal and the Dutch waste struck the ball home with an impressive head.
The two -goals, however, would last only three minutes, in Yamal in the middle of the deficit with a left foot strike that stood in the distant part.
The party suddenly became a timer. Shortly afterwards, Yamal sounded the bar after Bamboozling Federico Dimarco on the line.

The 17 -year -old seemed to have a good mood. And it didn’t take long before the boat was at a level.
Raphinha nodded with Pedri’s passage to Cap de Torres that this time was in his hand to supply the finish.
Raphinha’s attendance, its 20th contribution from the Champions League, this term was eclipse Messi for most in one season for the Catalan club.
Jules Kounde then had to be replaced by injury, and ended with an impressive first moment of the first semester, which saw that the impulse of the game was swinging between the two teams.
After the restart, Inter sought to fight the advantage and closed when Dimarco was found by the Low Cross of Yann Bisseck, but International Italy ravaged his shot.
With an hour missing, Inzghi’s men regained their advantage when Dumfries headed home their second party from the Hakan Calhanoglu background.
But again, Barça hit again -Raphinha fired on a shot from the edge of the box that cut the bottom of the bar before diverting to Sommer.

There was now no doubt that this contest would be one of the most exciting European nights in recent memory.
There should be no more goals, but Inter thought they had taken the lead again through Henrikh Mkhitaryan. However, the goal was detached out of the sight after a VAR control.
Yamal hit the crossbar again and Raphinha tried Sommer from a late distance with a strike that the Swiss goalkeeper was the same.
And it turned out to be the last action on what was a pulsing football night.
Everything to play San Siro next week.
