Ghanaian versatile player, Kwadwo Asamoah endured a 2-1 defeat with his Inter Milan side on Wednesday night when they locked horns with FC Barcelona at the Camp Nou in the 2019/2020 UEFA Champions League.

The Italian Serie A side traveled to Spain looking for their first win in Group F after drawing 1-1 with Slavia Prague on matchday one a couple of weeks ago at the San Siro.

Kwadwo Asamoah was named on Antonio Conte’s starting lineup for the match after impressing in past matches.

A good start to the encounter saw the away side taking the lead just 3 minutes into the first half courtesy a strike from Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez with an assist from Alexis Sanchez.

Barcelona took control of the match from there on but could not make use of the possession they enjoyed, forcing them to go into the break on the losing side.

Luiz Suarez netted a brace in the second half to ensure the La Liga defending champions bagged their first 3 points in the ongoing elite European competition.

Kwadwo Asamoah lasted the entire duration of the match but unfortunately, his efforts at the left-wing back role could not save his side from defeat.
