Davide Frattesi’s extra-time winner sent Inter through to the Champions League final, after a dramatic 4-3 victory at San Siro sealed a 7-6 aggregate success.

The Nerazzurri will contest their second showpiece in the space of three seasons following a classic tie between two of Europe’s heavyweights.

Inter broke the deadlock in the 21st minute when Denzel Dumfries sprung the offside trap and fed the returning Lautaro Martinez, who slotted into an empty net.

The Nerazzurri skipper was involved again as the hosts doubled their advantage in first-half stoppage time. He was deemed to have been fouled by Inigo Martinez following a VAR review, and Hakan Calhanoglu made no mistake from the penalty spot.

Barca came roaring back after the restart. Eric Garcia’s controlled volley halved the deficit, before a close-range Dani Olmo header – both from Gerard Martin crosses – levelled the tie on the hour mark.

Hansi Flick’s side completed the turnaround three minutes from time, and looked like they had booked their place in the final when Raphinha lashed the ball past Yann Sommer at the second attempt from close range.

However, in the 93rd minute, Inter rescued themselves and forced extra-time when Dumfries’ cross was expertly lifted into the roof of the net by Francesco Acerbi.

The hosts then edged their noses ahead in extra-time when, following strong centre-forward play by Marcus Thuram, Mehdi Taremi teed up Frattesi, who brilliantly found the bottom corner to send San Siro into ecstacy.

Barca pushed for the equaliser. Substitute Robert Lewandowski headed over and Lamine Yamal tested Sommer, but Inter held out to secure their spot in the May 31 showpiece.

Anfield Showdown Brewing as Enzo Fernandez vs Dominik Szoboszlai Comparison Heats Up—-A fierce online debate has erupted ahead of the Premier League clash between Liverpool FC and Chelsea FC, with fans comparing the performances of Enzo Fernández and Dominik Szoboszlai.

The discussion gained traction after a stats graphic shared by Premier League India asked fans to pick between the two midfielders ahead of the highly anticipated encounter at Anfield.

Both players have made 33 Premier League appearances this season, but the numbers reveal contrasting strengths in their games.

Szoboszlai has registered six goals and five assists for Liverpool, highlighting his attacking influence and ability to contribute in the final third during the Reds’ European football qualification.

Enzo, meanwhile, has recorded eight goals and three assists for Chelsea while also dominating creatively with an impressive 24 through balls compared to Szoboszlai’s six.

The midfield battle appears even tighter defensively and physically, with Enzo narrowly edging duels won at 125 compared to Szoboszlai’s 124.
