In a pulsating UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg at San Siro on Tuesday, David Frattesi emerged as the hero for Inter Milan, netting the winning goal in the 99th minute of extra time to secure a 4-3 victory over Barcelona. This thrilling win sent Inter through to the final with a 7-6 aggregate scoreline.
The match was a rollercoaster of emotions. Barcelona had staged a remarkable comeback in the second half, with goals from Eric Garcia and Dani Olmo leveling the tie after Inter had taken a commanding 2-0 lead by halftime. Raphinha then struck late in regular time, seemingly putting Barcelona on course for the final.
However, Inter refused to bow out quietly. Francesco Acerbi scored a dramatic stoppage-time equalizer, setting the stage for Frattesi’s decisive strike deep into extra time. The Italian side will now await the winner of the PSG versus Arsenal semi-final, with the final scheduled for May 31.
This encounter was a showcase of resilience and attacking football, reflecting the high stakes and quality of Europe’s premier club competition.
