Davide Frattesi scored in extra time as Inter beat Barcelona 4-3 and reached the Champions League final after a remarkable night in Milan.
Barcelona had recovered from two goals down and led the tie in the 87th minute, but Francesco Acerbi forced extra time before Frattesi settled it.
Inter build a two-goal lead
Lautaro Martinez opened the scoring in the 21st minute after Federico Dimarco won possession and released Denzel Dumfries.
Hakan Calhanoglu then converted a penalty in first-half stoppage time after Pau Cubarsi caught Martinez. Inter led 2-0 on the night and 5-3 on aggregate.
Barcelona turn the tie around
Eric Garcia pulled one back in the 54th minute and Dani Olmo headed Barcelona level six minutes later.
Yann Sommer kept out a fierce Garcia effort before Raphinha scored in the 87th minute. That put Barcelona ahead for the first time in the tie.
Inter refused to fold. Acerbi met Dumfries’s low cross in stoppage time and scored his first European goal to make it 3-3.
Frattesi sends Inter to the final
Marcus Thuram drove into the area in the 99th minute and the ball reached Frattesi, who shifted it onto his left foot and curled beyond Wojciech Szczesny.
Lamine Yamal threatened repeatedly, but Sommer denied him again late in extra time. The goalkeeper’s saves protected a 7-6 aggregate victory.
Inter advanced to their second Champions League final in three seasons after surviving one of the competition’s wildest semi-finals.
