Inter Milan delivered a heart-stopping Champions League semifinal performance Tuesday night, battling to a 4–3 extra–time victory over Barcelona at San Siro that secured their spot in the final with a 7–6 aggregate win. 🎉 The electric match had fans worldwide gripping their screens — and proved why football is the world’s most unpredictable drama.
Lautaro Martinez became the night’s hero, opening the scoring in the 21st minute with a clinical finish after Denzel Dumfries' pinpoint cross. The Argentine striker then won a penalty just before halftime, coolly converted by Hakan Calhanoglu. ⚡️
Barcelona fought back fiercely in the second half, forcing extra time with two late goals. But Inter’s resilience shone through in the added period, sealing their first final appearance since 2023. Now, they’ll face either Arsenal or PSG on May 31 in Munich for European glory. 🏆
