Inter Milan Stuns Barcelona in Magical Comeback to Reach Champions League Final, Equals Record for Highest-Scoring Semifinal Tie

Inter Milan Stuns Barcelona in Magical Comeback to Reach Champions League Final, Equals Record for Highest-Scoring Semifinal Tie

One thing is clear after 120 minutes filled of suspense, genius, and memorable turns: Milan will not have much sleep tonight. The bar was raised by last week's thrilling 3-3 match. This second leg, astonishingly, flew even higher.

 

With their fire in their boots, Inter Milan dominated the first half and jumped out to a 2-0 lead at the interval. Hakan Çalhanoğlu easily buried a penalty to increase the lead after Lautaro Martínez's initial goal set the tone. Barcelona, on the other hand, appeared completely different—flat, jumbled, and in dire need of rhythm.

 

However, the second half presented a different picture, as is typical with Barça. The Spanish powerhouses rallied, adjusted their tactics, and retaliated with the kind of football that flips games—and stories—on their head.

Barcelona quickly regained their position in the match in less than six minutes. After a calm goal from Eric García tied the score, Dani Olmo soared above the defense and silenced the San Siro supporters with a forceful header. It was obvious that the momentum had changed. Raphinha's accurate shot into the bottom corner in the 88th minute gave the visitors the impression that they had won the match, as the Blaugrana were controlling possession and setting the pace.

 

It was like the final blow. Inter appeared exhausted, weary, and lacking in inspiration. It's reasonable to assume that Barcelona supporters are already daydreaming about Munich, researching airfare, and picturing another European championship.

 

However, football rarely goes as planned. With 93 minutes remaining in stoppage time, Francesco Acerbi burst onto the field and smashed a thundering drive into the net's roof, sending the Nerazzurri supporters into a frenzy of jubilation and rescuing a thrilling draw from the jaws of defeat.

 

Francesco Acerbi was consumed by emotion at the age of 37. After eventually scoring his first-ever goal in the Champions League, he raised his eyes and gestured to the sky as the mayhem around him erupted, tears running down his cheeks.

 

Both teams prepared for a tense conclusion as the score leveled and extra time approached. But because to the unwavering enthusiasm of their home audience, Inter took the initiative.

 

In the 99th minute, the game-winning goal was scored. With incredible power and awareness, Marcus Thuram held off his marker before skillfully putting the ball in Davide Frattesi's path. The midfield player remained unflinching. He calmly swept his shot into the far corner, causing chaos and sending Nerazzurri into a state of panic.
