Inter Milan 4-3 Barcelona (agg. 7-6): Thrilling second-leg sees Nerrazurri book Champions League final spot

Winner: Davide Frattesi - (AP)

It would require 210 minutes of play and 13 goals over two legs, but Inter Milan eventually bested Barcelona in an unforgettable contest to reach their second Champions League final in three years.

Raphinha scored a late would-be winner to start the celebrations in Barcelona, but they were cruelly cut short by Francesco Acerbi’s injury-time equaliser, before Davide Frattesi added a winner in the first half of extra time to trigger wild celebrations in the stands.
